Re: Violin concerto vs Symphony for violin?

Coming back around to this one...

Sinfonia: is a term that has multiple definitions based on the contextual period of time. I don't know Aho's music enough to say with any confidence that he is hearkening back to any of the baroque or classical definitions.

This term generically is used to mean an overture to a larger work. When you add the term "concertante" you can presume that there is no larger work to follow organically. A Concert Overture for Violin and orchestra.

So I'm going to guess that this is a one movement work less than twenty minutes in length?
