Hey Hivemind, I'm looking for the name of two recordings on this video: https://​www.youtube.com​/watch?​v=Xni9nYEkSCQ​&index=22​&list=​PLRJgr20Cck​0tbQl4K_Q6​-wE7te20N3ETh The first one starts at 03:36 and the second one at 22:06 Thanks all

Best answer: The second is part of "Summer" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons; see this recording.

Best answer: The first sounds like part of the Mendelssohn violin concerto.

Bonus: four hands version!
