violin concertos through the eras

classical-crap:

baroque era: oh yes…sixteenth notes…third position…some vibrato…sequences…yes…

classical era: hey look the violin is pretty neat and it can play some hella high notes sometimes. look at that mozart dude go

romantic era: I just have so many FEELINGS and so much TECHNICAL ABILITY and I can only express my FEEELINGS with excessive octaves and tenths

modern era: we are upset and we will take it out on this screechy scratch instrument
