Max Bruch鈥檚 First Violin Concerto is Sara Mohr-Pietsch鈥檚 destination on today鈥檚 Music Map. Bruch was badly ripped off in the process of publishing this work, and we鈥檒l hear from other composers who were similarly swindled. Sara also has music by the man who made the concerto famous; and some other showstopping violin works by the likes of Bach, Stravinsky and Stephane Grappelli.
