The year 1879 could hardly have begun more promisingly for Antonín Dvořák: Within only four days of each other, he received two letters with strikingly similar content. In them, the two writers expressed the same idea completely independently of each other. Dvořák's Berlin publisher Fritz Simrock wrote: "Do you want to write me a violin concerto? Quite original, rich in cantilenas and for good violinists? A word, please!" And one of the most famous violinists, Dvořák's Czech compatriot Karel Halíř, hoped "that you will soon write a violin concerto, which I must certainly play first".

What a rare stroke of luck: here came together the two most important components for a newly emerging work, namely a financially lucrative offer and the prospect of an early and excellent first performance. Naturally, Dvořák took up the offer. The work was already done in September. And an even more tempting performance opportunity had opened up: through Johannes Brahms, Dvořák had met Halíř's teacher Joseph Joachim, a Europe-wide celebrity. And he agreed to support him in working out the violin part. With all due respect for Dvořák's concerto, Joachim recommended that he completely rewrite it. Other composers have reacted in a similar way, by breaking off contact. Not so the self-contained Dvořák: as early as the spring of the following year, he reported almost triumphantly to Simrock that at Joachim's request he had "rewritten the entire concerto, I have not left a single bar. He will certainly enjoy it.

In fact, Joachim was pleased with the new version, except for a few details. However, because of his many commitments, he did not express this until a full two years later. The tempting prospect of an early premiere had thus been dashed. Meanwhile, Dvořák filled the time with the composition of his Sixth Symphony and the opera Dimitri, both great successes. But the public was even more enthusiastic about his Violin Concerto in October 1883, when it was finally premiered - incidentally, neither with Halíř nor with Joachim, but with František Ondříček as soloist.
