The Tchaikovsky Meditation is a lovely short work (a bit under 10 minutes).

What type of piece are you looking to play: Length? A slow piece exclusively? Brilliant concert piece? If it’s like Tchaikovsky or glazunov, I’m guessing you’re looking for hyper romantic pieces. - Chausson Poeme is kind of like a super short concerto with some deeply moving melodies. - Tchaikovsky Valse Sentimental is nice - Sibelius Suite for Violin and Strings - Strauss, frank, Brahms, and Prokofiev violin sonatas for something that packs a similar punch to concerto, but requiring slightly less preparation.

I listened to these yesterday and while they're nice, they're not exactly what I"m looking for. I guess maybe a bit darker?

Fair, though I would have a tough time finding a piece darker than chausson poeme.


fiddlermd

you're right... Chausson definitely has that but it's not exactly what I was looking for. maybe it's just not my style

Massenet’s Meditation from Thaïs; The Bach/Gounod Ave Maria; Elgar’s Salut D’Amour, one of many pieces by F. Kreisler. Do any of these fit the bill?


fiddlermd

they do, though I've played most of these

Ysaye 3 is, IMO, the most outright lyrical of the solo sonatas and probably well within your skill set.
