1In the first movement, Allegro, after an exposition of the themes by the orchestra, the solo violin begins with the Principal Theme:

7which after eight measures already yields to the energetic A major phrase:
9The two motives last mentioned are absolutely different one from the other, each in its own way, and the player should do his best to express this difference, in part by variety in shading, in part by unnoticeable modifications of tempo. The first theme should be played delicately and quietly as indicated; the second (A major theme) with decisive expression as regards tone and, naturally, in a somewhat more animated tempo.
