I've removed the following from the article:

This concerto is quite similar to the first concerto of Max Bruch. Both concertos are in minor keys, this one in A minor and the other in G minor. Both concertos open with two violin cadenzas before the concerto plunges into the development. Both pieces have a violin cadenza at the end of the first movement that leads directly into the second movement. Both second movements are notable for their lyrical themes. Both concertos end with scherzo-like themes even though the structures are not alike.

I've removed it because, while there may be similarities between the two concerti, this doesn't elaborate much on where those similarities lie. For example, there are many violin concerti meeting these criteria; and, furthermore, I don't think I would characterize the opening of the concerto as a "cadenza". Can anyone else better develop this material? --Todeswalzer|Talk 22:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
