George Perle, now an instructor at the University of Louisville, was born in 1915, in Bayonne, New Jersey. He began work on the Third String Quartet in 1946 in Japan and completed it the following year in New York City. It was presented for the first time at a concert of the Forum Group of the International Society for Contemporary Music, in New York City on Feb. 7, 1948. The work is based on the following twelve-tone series, and its permutations and transpositions: d; e-flat; a-flat; b; c; f-sharp; c-sharp; f-natural; g; a; e; b-flat. The score is arranged in the present publication in such a way as to render unnecessary the extraction of parts for performance. Each player may read his part directly from a copy of the score.

The tragic circumstances surrounding the origin of the concerto are well known: Manon Gropius, the daughter of Berg's friend Alma Mahler, died of polio after the composer had written the first sketches to his violin concerto. In remembrance of her, he dedicated the work to the memory of an angel. Later, Berg decided to incorporate into the score the Bach chorale Es ist genug as a quote. He also worked on the solo part directly and intensely with the American violinist Louis Krasner, who had commissioned the work. Berg was no longer able to witness the first performance and the first edition of the concerto since he passed away in late 1935. This new edition is the first Urtext version of Berg's work, which was created in the midst of a spate of epoch-making violin concertos by Stravinsky (1931), Schoenberg (1936), Prokofiev (1937), Bartok (1938), Hindemith (1939) a. o. Errors from the first edition were corrected after an in-depth comparison with the autograph score, the short score and, in some cases, with the twelve-tone row structure.The entire performance material can be purchased; however, due to copyright reasons, the score and orchestral parts are not available the United States.Werden die Urtextausgaben von Breitkopf & Hartel aufgrund ihres hellblauen Umschlags augenzwinkernd die Himmlischen genannt, so ist dies in Bezug auf die neu vorgelegte Partitur Programm.
