Cello Concerto In E Major (Cassadó-Tchaikovsky)

The Cello Concerto in E major was created by the cellist Gaspar Cassadó, who took nine of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's pieces from his Piano Pieces, Op. 72, and orchestrated them as, collectively, a concerto.

The pieces Cassadó used were: ''Scene dansante (Invitation au trepak)'', ''Tendres Reproches'', and ''Chant Elegiaque'' in the first movement; ''Meditation'' and ''Dialogue'' in the second; and ''Danse Characteristique'', ''Berceuse'', ''Passe Lointain'', and ''Impromptu'' in the third.

This concerto was a favorite of Cassadó's, but he never recorded it. No other recording of the work exists.
