Violin Concerto No. 1 (Glass)
Philip Glass's Violin Concerto No. 1 was commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra for soloist Paul Zukofsky and premiered in New York City on 5 April 1987. The work was composed with Glass's late father in mind.〔 The piece quickly became one of Glass's most popular works.〔 It is usually around 25–30 minutes in duration when performed.
==Conception==
Following Glass's early operas, the conductor Dennis Russell Davies had been urging the composer to write more orchestral pieces, and the concerto marks Glass's first full-scale venture into non-theatrical orchestral composing.〔Maycock, Robert (2002), ''Glass: A Portrait'', Sanctuary Publishing, Ltd., London, ISBN 1-86074-347-1, p. 70–71.〕
Glass's original concept was for a five-movement work, and Zukofsky requested a slow, high finale.〔Maycock, p. 107.〕 As the composition process developed, however, Glass decided that five movements were too many and settled for a more conventional three-movement format. According to Glass, this traditional structure was not a concession to formality but simply a result of the work finding "a voice of its own" as the first and second movements developed into longer pieces than he had originally conceived.〔 The work was composed with Glass's father, Ben, in mind, despite the latter's death some sixteen years earlier: "I wrote the piece in 1987 thinking, let me write a piece that my father would have liked () A very smart nice man who had no education in music whatsoever, but the kind of person who fills up concert halls. () It's popular, it's supposed to be — it's for my Dad."〔Maycock, p. 105.〕
