Cello Concerto (1926) - This piece, like the Suite for Cello Solo, has folk music elements: Spanish, Oriental, and Impressionistic. Cassado studied composition with Maurice Ravel. So it is not surprising when a Ravelian "carnival music" is heard in the second theme of the first movement. The second movement is a theme and variations. An attacca leads to a pentatonic Rondo.
