Violin Concerto (Sessions)
Roger Sessions' Violin Concerto was composed between 1927 and 1935, and is scored for violin and orchestra (without violins).〔Sessions 1937.〕〔〔Harman ().〕
==History==
The concerto was begun, at the suggestion of Serge Koussevitzky, in the summer of 1927—although the composer later postdated the beginning of this work to his years at the American Academy in Rome in 1928 and 1929,〔Olmstead 2008, 246〕—and was completed in 1935.〔Babbitt 2003, 394.〕〔Schubart 1946, 212.〕 It was originally meant to have been premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra during their 1932–33 season, with Richard Burgin as soloist, but Sessions did not finish the finale—originally to have been the third movement—in time.〔Olmstead 2008, 247.〕 Ultimately deciding on a four-movement form, Sessions delivered the violin part to Burgin in the fall of 1934, while still orchestrating the last movement, and Koussevitzky agreed to program the concerto during the first half of the 1935–36 season.〔Olmstead 2008, 247–48.〕 When Sessions expressed a preference for a better-known violinist, Burgin graciously stepped aside and Joseph Szigeti was named as the probable soloist.〔Olmstead 2008, 248; Anon. 1935.〕 The Concerto was finally completed in San Francisco in August 1935,〔Sessions 1937, 98.〕 and the premiere was scheduled to take place in November 1936, but the now-intended soloist, Albert Spalding, asked for a postponement and requested that Sessions compose a new finale. Sessions declined and released the violinist of his obligation to perform the concerto.〔 Spalding could not master the violin part, especially the "punishingly fast" tarantella finale, and the performance was cancelled at the last minute.〔Olmstead 2008, 249.〕 The concerto was finally given its first performance with a professional orchestra by Louis Krasner and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Dimitri Mitropoulos, on November 14, 1947,〔Steinberg 2000, 430–33.〕〔〔Olmstead 2008, 250.〕 though an earlier performance had been given in Chicago on January 8, 1940, by Robert Arthur Gross, the WPA Illinois Symphony Orchestra, and Izler Solomon,〔〔 and Gross also performed the first two movements in 1941 with the National Youth Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski.〔
It is dedicated to Sessions' first wife, Barbara.〔〔Sessions 1937, 1.〕
The concerto's advocates have included Tossy Spivakovsky (who gave the New York premiere with Leonard Bernstein conducting in 1959);〔Henahan 1968, 385.〕 more recently, it has been performed by Jorja Fleezanis and Ole Bohn, who has made the work's second recording.
