Jean-Baptiste Accolay (seventeen April 1845 (Brussels, Belgium) - 19 August 1910[1] (Brugge, Belgium) was a Belgian violin teacher, violinist, conductor, and composer of the romantic period . His best known composition could be a student concerto with solely one movement in A minor. It was written in 1868 originally for violin and orchestra. Accolay's Concerto in A minor has been played by several well-known violinists, as well as Itzhak Perlman. The liner notes for Perlman's recording of "Concertos from My Childhood" indicate that there are a minimum of "seven works by the long forgotten French violinist and teacher Jean-Baptiste Accolay, whose concertos (together with the one in question ) were edited for publication by the Walloon virtuoso Mattieu Crickboom, a protege of the nice Eugène Ysaÿe, and professor at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels." Accolay's Concerto in A minor (1868) is "one in every of the foremost enduring of all tutorial violin concertos, it is still frequently studied today. Though its executant demands are slight, this agreeably spontaneous piece highlights one among music's nice paradoxes - that expressive power usually derives from the only of technical means."
