Presentation of Karl Flesch’s book “The Art of Violin Playing”

Welcome to the film‑documentary presentation of Karl Flesch’s celebrated book, *The Art of Violin Playing*. In this immersive concert film, world‑class violinists Maximilian Simon and Aram Badalyan bring Flesch’s insights to life with a stunning repertoire. The program opens with the heroic Overture to Mikhail Glinka’s opera *Ruslan & Lyudmila*, setting a soaring tone. The show then moves into Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s lush Violin Concerto, wherein Simon delivers an electrifying solo that weaves themes from the classic films *Another Dawn* (1937), *Anthony Adverse* (1936), and *The Prince and the Pauper* (1937) across the three movements: I. *Moderato nobile*, II. *Romance*, III. *Allegro assai vivace*. Finally, the concert concludes with Max Bruch’s spirited Violin Concerto No. 1, featuring Badalyan’s expressive performance of I. *Allegro moderato*, II. *Adagio*, III. *Allegro energico*.
