Premiered by the renowned violinist Leopold Auer in St. Petersburg in February of 1905, Glazunov's solo violin concerto entered the repertoire immediately, remaining popular in spite of the decline of the Russian romantic's overall popularity over the past century. The score offered here is a digitally restored reissue on the one published in the USSR by the State Music Publishers, itself an urtext edition based on the primary sources still in St. Petersburg (then known as Leningrad). Unlike so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.
