New publication: Critical Report on the Violin Concerto in the Alban Berg Complete Edition

In this newly published Critical Report on the Violin Concerto, whose notation was edited in 1996 as part of the Alban Berg Complete Edition, all known musical sources are presented and described in detail. This is followed by an extensive history of the work, which was commissioned by violinist Louis Krasner and completed in the final year of Berg’s life using sketches bearing comments. The volume also contains comprehensive documentation of the work’s genesis with letters and other biographical documents. Altogether, this makes the book an essential and inexhaustible treasure trove for anyone looking to find out more about one of the most important violin concertos of the 20th century, whether as a performer or scholar.
