Described by Aaron Copland as 'among the finest creations in the
modern repertoire', Alban Berg's Violin Concerto has become a
twentieth-century classic. In this authoritative and highly
readable guide to the work the reader is introduced not only to the
concerto itself but to all that surrounded and determined its
composition. This is a book about musical culture in the 1930s,
about the Second Viennese School, about tonality, atonality and
serialism, about Berg's own musical development, compositional
method and the private significance the Violin Concerto held for
him. The book describes the genesis of the work, its performance
history and critical reception and, in two detailed musical
chapters, provides a section-by-section account of the book and a
closer analysis of the musical language and structure. Anthony
Pople's ability to combine musical anecdote with scholarly
discussion makes this guide compelling reading for the amateur and
the specialist alike.
