You're very welcome! I adore them also and so I'm pleased to have "passed them on" to another violinist.

The Seitz concertos are truly charming, I feel. Each one traverses several moods, always including a plaintive, brooding section that especially spoke to me when I played them as a child.

Thanks to your question and my search for possible candidate pieces that might suit you, I was also glad to hear for the first time a piece new to me that I admire greatly because I feel it is very silkily emotional without quite tipping over entirely into schmaltzy: the theme song from Ladies in Lavender.

I included that piece in my last post, but here is a different youtube video of a violinist whose performance I like even better:

Nigel Hess - Ladies in Lavender - performed by violinist Craig Halliday
He plays it very well.
