His 1st violin concerto is undoubtedly one of the best concertos ever written, but what about his other 2? Does anyone like them as much as 1st? I'm about to listen to all 3.
Bruch was apparently upset that only 1st got so much fame and attention

>Nothing compares to the laziness, stupidity and dullness of many German violinists. Every fortnight another one comes to me wanting to play the first concerto. I have now become rude; and have told them: ‘I cannot listen to this concerto any more – did I perhaps write just this one? Go away and once and for all play the other concertos, which are just as good, if not better.

>On the corner of the Via Toledo they stand there, ready to break out with my first violin concerto as soon as I allow myself to be seen. (They can all go to the devil! As if I had not written other equally good concertos!)
