This score is for Edward Elgar’s Violin Concerto in B minor, Op. 61 (1857–1934), one of his longer works and the last to achieve immediate popularity. It remained on concert programs even when Elgar’s works fell out of fashion for much of the 20th century, and was a personal favorite of the composer.
Commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society in 1909 after violinist Fritz Kreisler praised Elgar as “the greatest living composer” and said he wished Elgar would write something for the violin, the concerto premiered at a Royal Philharmonic Society concert on November 10th, 1910. Elgar conducted, Kreisler played the solo, and the London Symphony Orchestra accompanied him.
