Among the seven or eight violin concertos attributed to Mozart, the first five concertos (of which the last three are the most well-known) were composed in Salzburg between April and December 1775; these were Mozart's first instrumental works, whose reputation spread throughout Europe. Mozart, who was a talented violinist, composed these concertos for his personal use. His father once wrote to him: "You may not realize how well you play the violin... You could be the best violinist in Europe"; and, after a concert in Augsburg, Mozart, in a letter to his father, said, "The listeners were all amazed, I played as if I were the best violinist in Europe."

The 19-year-old composer's violin concertos are not notable for extraordinary virtuosity, but for their grace, crystalline purity of form, and inventiveness: they overflow with animation and gaiety; they breathe the solid youthful happiness of the joy of life. They also exemplify the "international" character of Mozart's work: the French spirit and Italian cantabile combined with the sense of Germanic architecture.

As a representative of the tradition of the Franco-Belgian school, illustrated by Henri Vieuxtemps, Eugène Ysaÿe, and César Thomson, Arthur Grumiaux was considered a music aristocrat. His relentless pursuit of perfection – somewhat unnerving to those around him – and the purity of his style made him one of the most eminent interpreters of Mozart in the second half of the 20th century, whether in sonatas with Clara Haskil or solo: in 1956, he recorded Mozart's concertos for the first time in Vienna, for the bicentenary of the composer's birth, with Rudolf Moralt. He would make a second recording under the direction of Colin Davis a few years later.
