![]() ![]() If you think the slow movement of Wieniawski #2 is the most beautiful piece of music on the planet, and you want to put just that movement on a program, there really isn't a reason not to, especially as part of a "set" of miniatures and showpieces. But personally I don't see a problem with just about any part of the violin repertoire being on a recital, because I think we tend to limit ourselves too much. You wouldn't want to open a program with Franck or Brahms, for instance. It's a good idea to "warm up" the audience a bit, so it's normal to put shorter sonatas at the beginning of the program (Handel, Mozart G major, or the Schubert "sonatinas", for example). It used to be perfrectly normal and acceptable to have a concerto with piano reduction on a recital program, and also to have whole recitals of miniatures, or single movements. Of course, the recital repertoire has changed a lot over the years.
