Viola Concerto (Bartók) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Viola Concerto (Bartók) The Viola Concerto, Sz. 120, BB 128 (also known as Concerto for Viola and Orchestra) was one of the last pieces written by Béla Bartók. He began composing the work while living in Saranac Lake, New York, in July 1945. The piece was commissioned by William Primrose, a respected violist who knew that Bartók could provide a challenging piece for him to perform. He said that Bartók should not "feel in any way proscribed by the apparent technical limitations of the instrument";〔Béla Bartók, ''Viola Concerto: Facsimile Edition of the Autograph Draft'', Nelson Dellamaggiore, editor (Tampa: Rinaldi Printing, 1995): 24.〕 Bartók, though, was suffering from the terminal stages of leukemia when he began writing the viola concerto and left only sketches at the time of his death. ==History== Primrose asked Bartók to write the concerto in the winter of 1944.〔Peter, Bartók, “The Principal Theme of Béla Bartók’s Viola Concerto,” ''Studia Musicologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae'' T. 35 (1993-1994): 47.〕 There are several letters between them regarding the piece. In one, from September 8, 1945, Bartók claims that he is nearly done with it and only has the orchestration to complete. The sketches however show that this was not truly the case. When Bartók died, the piece was finished by his close friend Tibor Serly in 1949.〔Béla Bartók, ''Viola Concerto'', ed. by Tibor Serly (England: Boosey & Hawkes, 1949), 1.〕 A first revision was made by Bartók’s son Peter and Paul Neubauer in 1995, and it was revised once more by Csaba Erdélyi. The concerto was premiered on December 2, 1949, by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra with Antal Doráti conducting and Primrose as violist.
