"The question of whether sonata and concerto form can be combined in orchestral music was examined by Schönberg for the first time in the violin concerto. The supposed incompatibility of the demand for a densely structured, polyphonic compositional technique and the traditional concessions to the brilliant and effective virtuosity of the solo part was evidently a fundamental compositional incentive for the composer. The beginning of each movement is characterised by two overlapping row constellations as a combination of the original row and the inversion, untransposed or transposed by a fifth respectively. In addition, the row constellation that is based on the principal part is initially presented horizontally each time. The row technique cannot be systematised within the movement and reveals numerous irregularities in the interpretation of the strict methodology. Although Schönberg intended the form of his concerto to have a "classical" three-movement structure, the recapitulation of the first movement, for example, is hardly more than the exposition and its form is altered by a developmental section which extends almost until the end of the movement. In such a construction, the virtuoso shaping of the violin part is ultimately entirely absorbed and also strangely defamiliarised by the thematic work." Arnold Schönberg Center.
