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
characters”. 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.
