Editing Violin Concerto (Berg) (section)

== Premieres ==
* World premiere: 19 April 1936, [[Palau de la Música Catalana]], [[Barcelona]], at the [[XIV International Society for Contemporary Music Festival|XIV ISCM Festival]]. [[Louis Krasner]] played the solo part, and [[Pablo Casals|Pau Casals Orchestra]] was conducted by [[Hermann Scherchen]].<ref name="Glass" />
*: [[Anton Webern]] was intended to be the conductor. Reports vary as to whether he was ill or was emotionally unable to cope with the subject matter of the music. In any case, Scherchen happened to be there for the Festival, and he was drafted at the literal 11th hour: the first time he ever saw the score was at 11 pm the night before the premiere, and the next morning there was time for only half an hour rehearsal.<ref name=kras>[http://www.schoenberg.at/library/index.php/attachments/single/1535 Louis Krasner, ''Some Memories of Anton Webern, the Berg Concerto and Vienna in the 1930s'']</ref>

Krasner was again the soloist (at the invitation of the BBC producer [[Edward Clark (conductor)|Edward Clark]], who had attended the world premiere in Barcelona), and Webern conducted the [[BBC Symphony Orchestra]].

=== Revised version ===
Berg did not have time to review the score or correct any errors. That was finally done in the 1990s by Professor [[Alban Berg#Douglas Jarman|Douglas Jarman]], Principal Lecturer in Academic Studies at the [[Royal Northern College of Music]], Manchester.<ref>[http://www.palgrave.com/page/detail/berg-companion-douglas-jarman/?K=9780333427187 Palgrave MacMillan]. Retrieved 1 November 2014</ref> The premiere of the revised version was given in Vienna in 1996, with [[Daniel Hope (violinist)|Daniel Hope]] as soloist.
