Saint-Saëns - Cello Concerto No. 4

Saint-Saëns - Cello Concerto No. 1
The first years from an instrument long enough to grow as a conservative reformer from the instrument - Camille Saint-Saëns, a long life, (1921 1835) to live. His first cello concerto in 1872, when he was still a reformer that 'modern' composers Liszt and Wagner had written to accept his leadership. A series of rotational movement of the concerto form, but there are three main categories. Different from other collection, this one does not have a single interpretation of the orchestral introduction before. Instead, an orchestra and then to have a loud chord, hear the saxophone. The first section covers, themes, orchestra, solo, sometimes acting against each other, never played with each other to be heard. The first section of the sonata form of dress, but the loose theme rather than sonata form, with very little development. The first section and second section of the segues. The second section is small, and the minuet and finale of the third section, which recapitulates the theme from the first chapter and ending before the introduction of new elements within the segues. Cello concerto No. 1 single for a very technically demanding. Saint-Saëns organ and orchestra, such as a single full range of activities all the time, but you can always hear in the balance, the accordion. It is a virtuoso work of a virtuoso cellist, and a few days ago that the repertoire of the cello has to be directed in writing by a virtuoso musician.
