The composers of the II. Viennese School are important representatives of the new music. This school played an important role in the emergence of the twelve-tone system. Alban Berg is one of the leading figures of this school. The composer was born in Vienna on February 9, 1885 and spent most of his life in this city. His last work, the Violin Concerto, is one of his most well-known works. It was written in 1935 and dedicated to Manon Gropius, the deceased child of the composer's friend Alma Mahler. As a result of the literature review conducted in our country, there are not enough sources about Alban Berg's Violin Concerto. Similarly, the work is not performed frequently compared to other works of the violin repertoire. This study is intended to pioneer new studies on this subject. In this way, it is thought that it will lead to more performances of the work.
