The violin
concerto from 1935 is
probably the best-known
and most frequently
performed instrumental
work by Alban Berg.
Written on behalf of the
violinist Louis Krasner,
it is his last completed
composition. Krasner
played the solo part at
the world premiere at the
Palau de la Música
Catalana in Barcelona on
19 April 1936 after
Berg's death. The concert
is dedicated to
“The Memory of an
Angel.†Berg
processed the death of
18-year-old Manon
Gropius, who had
contracted polio, and his
daughter Alma
Mahler-Werfel's marriage
to architect Walter
Gropius. His intention
was “to translate
the traits of the young
girl into musical
charactersâ€. With
more than 1,200 titles
from orchestral and
choral literature,
chamber music and music
theater, Edition
Eulenburg is the largest
score series in the
world. It covers a large
part of music history
from the baroque to
classical modernism and
looks back on a long
tradition.

Tarkmann, Andreas
N.
Mendelssohn's
Violin Concerto op. 64,
is a key work of the 19th
century, adhering to the
classical style of
Beethoven while pointing
the way to the romantic
ethos of Brahms. It has
long been known that
Mendelssohn performed the
work with three soloists
in succession: Ferdinand
David, who worked closely
with the composer during
its composition and
played it at the
premiere; the 'child
prodigy' Joseph Joachim;
and Hubert Leonard, a
young Belgian virtuoso
about whom little is
known.
As proof
sheets for the Violin
Concerto in E minor were
long considered lost, it
could be described as
somewhat of a sensation
when proofs for the solo
violin part resurfaced
together with a letter
from Mendelssohn to
Leonard.
The
letter informs us that
the composer invited
Leonard to his home in
Frankfurt in order to
make his acquaintance. It
was already known that
Mendelssohn had given
proof sheets to David;
now we know that he also
gave some to
Leonard.
The
recently discovered
proofs reveal how Leonard
played the concerto with
Mendelssohn on that
memorable evening in
February 1845. Besides
containing bowing marks
and fingering, they also
show how Leonard executed
shifts of position and
where he employed open
strings. Furthermore
modifications made to
dynamic markings and
additional legato bowing
are shown.
It is
safe to assume that all
of this was done with
Mendelssohn's approval.
That the young violinist
made a positive
impression on the
composer is confirmed in
the latter's
correspondence following
their joint performance.
Mendelssohn is full of
praise for Leonard's
playing and offers to
lend his support in
finding employment in
Germany.
This
revised edition of the
Mendelssohn Violin
Concerto (only the
orchestral parts remain
unchanged) includes a
separate booklet on
performance practice.
The editor, Clive
Brown, is an acknowledged
expert on Romantic
performance
practice.
