Early in 1935, the American violinist Louis Krasner suggested to Berg that he write a violin concerto, but Berg, involved with the orchestration of his opera Lulu, was not then interested in a new project. However, the death from poliomelytis of his young friend Manon Gropius, daughter of Mahler’s widow, that spring so saddened him that he decided to compose a concerto as a memorial to her. Te score was finished on August 11, 1935 – record time for the slow-working, meticulous Berg. Dedicated ‘to the memory of an angel’ the Violin Concerto was to be his last completed work, for on December 24 he died of septicemia of the age of fifty. Krasner gave the world premiere on April 19, 1936, in Barcelona, under Hermann Scherchen.

The orchestra was created under the name Philharmonic Society of Independence and Freedom (English Philharmonic Society of Independence and Freedom). Its first president was Yureli Corelli Hill, who also opened the orchestra’s first concert on December 7, 1842 as a conductor with a performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony; during the three-hour program, other numbers were conducted by Henry Timm and Denis Etienne. During the first years of the orchestra’s existence, it was constantly conducted by seven different conductors, and the orchestra itself was organized as a kind of cooperative: the main issues, including the choice of repertoire and conductor for this concert, were decided by voting, and the proceeds were divided among the orchestra members at the end of the season. Among the most significant events of this period in the history of the orchestra is the American premiere of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in 1846; this work was firmly included in the repertoire of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra — curiously, in 1865 The Ninth Symphony was performed in a concert in memory of the recently murdered Abraham Lincoln without the last movement, since the final “Ode to Joy” was considered inappropriate in the circumstances of mourning.
