Gaspar Cassadó's Cello Concerto in D minor was first performed in 1926 by Cassadó and Pablo Casals, to whom the work was dedicated.[1]
The concerto consists of two movements:
- I. Allegro non troppo
- II. Andante con variazioni e Allegro finale: Andante con sentimento austero – Allegro ritmico e piuttosto moderato.
This piece, like the
Impressionistic. Gaspar Cassadó studied composition with Maurice Ravel
and Ravelian "carnival music" can be heard in the second theme of the first movement. The second movement is a theme and variations. An attacca leads to a pentatonic Rondo.
