Written in the Romantic style in 1857, when the composer was 28 years old, it was published by C.F. Peters in 1859 with a dedication to violinist Henryk Wieniawski.
The work makes virtuoso demands of its soloist; and its character is more German in the tradition of Mendelssohn than Russian, likely all factors in its failure to claim a place in the standard repertory.[1][2]
August Wilhelmj arranged the concerto in an edition for violin with orchestra or piano. According to Goby Eberhardt, who studied with Wilhelmj, Rubinstein was displeased with Wilhelmj's arrangement.[3]
