Cello Concerto in E Major (Cassado-Tchaikovsky)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gaspar Cassadó took at least nine of Tchaikovsky's pieces, from Piano Pieces, Op.72, and preserved them in a concerto. The pieces Cassado used were: Scene dansante (Invitation au trepak), Tendres Reproches, and Chant Elegiaque in the first movement; Meditation and Dialogue in the second and Danse Caracteristique, Berceuse, Passe Lointain, and Impromptu in the third. No recording of the work exists, even though this concerto was a favorite of Cassado's.
