A program in the 1891/1892 Musical Yearbook of the United States announcing the Boston Symphony's 1891/92 season describes the upcoming 1/14/1892 concert as containing the Godard performance and has the words "first time" - whether this is a world premiere or a US premiere (or even just a Boston Symphony premiere) is not clarified. Assuming the former? In the event, though, the performance seems not to have occurred, according to the orchestra's own archive site. (However, it was performed 1893/1/14 by the now NY Phil. and the same soloist and conductor.)

(More or less the composer's 3rd violin concerto, after "Op.29" in D minor (manuscript, may only exist in violin/piano reduction, digitzed by the French National Library) and the Concerto romantique, Op.35 in A minor.)
