Hey,

I've just become Obsessed with Prokofiev's Violin concerto in D Major - The 3rd movement (moderato)

Very beautiful piece.

First section of the movement is this very romantic sounding melody line which sends shivers up my spine.

Is anyone familiar without the ins and outs of such music and how one achieves such an effect?

Is it the use of particular colour notes or chord extension?

I know that it is definitely that Very high solo violin which creates a lot of the effect, but what melodically makes this so - almost - stereotypically romantic?

Chris :-)
