I heard on my local, member-supported classical music radio station a brilliant work for the violin. It was the craziest combination of accented bowings, pizzicato, and Paganini-esque virtuosity. I did not catch the name of the composer or violinist. It was the most fascinating piece ofstring music I have ever heard would love to find out who the composer or piece was.
"crazy" is not a useful description, y'know. If 'intense' fits at all, maybe it was Tartini. I have heard (on recordings) Oistrakh play some intense Tartini.
I heard Ravel's Tzigane being played for solo violin (no piano part). It was incredibly fierce.
Modern/contemporary? There's a huge solo violin repertoire out there ya know!
Guess you will have to write in and ask the music radio station unless you can come up with more specifics?
