Abstract
In this project I analyze Florentín Giménez's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major. I consider Giménez’s background as a Paraguayan folk musician as well as his immersion into Western classical forms later in life and trace elements from both worlds in this piece. At this point, there have been a total of four performances of the piece. I am doing a comparison between three different versions of the concerto, sharing my critical edition of the solo part and a list of suggested corrections to the score. A tribute to the composer is included at the last section of this paper. With a life dedicated to the development of music and musicians of his country, Giménez was a crucial influence in the musical careers of numerous Paraguayans. A few of them agreed to share a few words in his honor.
