Cello Concerto in D minor (Cassadó)

Cello concert composed by Gaspar Cassadó

Gaspar Cassadó's Cello Concerto in D minor was first performed in 1926 by Cassadó and Pablo Casals, to whom the work was dedicated.

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 Suite for Cello Solo, has folk music elements: Spanish, Oriental, and 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.
