Bruch's
evergreen for the first
time in Urtext Thanks to
the premiere performance
by Joseph Joachim and to
the release of the
printed edition in 1868,
Max Bruch's Violin
Concerto no. 1 zipped
onto the road to success
and has never left it
since. Yet from the
preface of the
BreitkopfUrtext
edition,one can infer how
things looked like behind
the dazzling facade.
After the world premiere,
the composer struggled
for the definitive form.
He wrote 3, 4 development
sections in the finale,
and sought the advice of
celebrated virtuosi such
as Joseph Joachim and
Ferdinand David to revise
the solo part. And after
all this was done (see
above), Bruch suffered
under the work's
popularity: Have I
written nothing but this
one concerto? The new
Urtext edition is based
primarily on the first
edition. Next to the main
source and the autograph,
what is supremely
interesting is a solo
part with entries by
Joachim and Bruch. It
confirms how intensively
the two men collaborated
on honing the final form
of the work.
