Preface: Sandra
Bergmannova.
Bohusl
av Martinu wrote his
First Violin Concerto in
Paris in 1932-33, this
work having been
commissioned by the
violin virtuoso Samuel
Dushkin. However, it was
never performed during
the composer's lifetime
and was even considered
lost after his death. It
was not until 1961 that
musicologist and
collector Hans
Moldenhauer bought it
from Boaz Piller,
contrabassoonist of the
Boston Symphony
Orchestra. Moldenhauer
approached Czech
violinist Josef Suk, who
gave the world premiere
of the work with the
Chicago Symphony
Orchestra under Georg
Solti in October
1973.
This piano
reduction is based on the
musical text of the first
edition. The solo part
has been revised by a
leading Czech violinist
and performer of
Martinu's music.
