Benda Johann - Violin Concerto G major. You can download the PDF sheet music Benda - Violin Concerto G major on this page. The Benda family and its musical tradition, which continues to this day, were founded by the first Jan Jiří Benda, who was born in 1686 in Bohemia. In 1706 he married Dorota Brixi, a member of a well-known Bohemian musical family. Of their six sons, five were to distinguish themselves as musicians. Benda, Johann Georg (Jan Jiří), the younger, born in 1713, was renowned as an excellent violinist and viola player. Son of a local musician, he was trained by his father and in 1733 moved first to Dresden and then to Ruppin with his brother Franz Benda. When the crown prince became Frederick II, he found employment in the court orchestra as a violinist. His style of composition exemplifies the transition from the baroque period to the classical era. This violin concerto in G major is a fine example of his musical art. Destined not to become as famous as any of his other siblings, he nonetheless composed music mainly for his instrument, including four violin concertos, four violin sonatas, 10 caprices for solo violin. Violin part arranged by S. Dushkin.
