Cello Concerto No. 2 (Saint-Saëns)
- Cello Concerto No. 2 (Saint-Saëns)
Saint-Saëns' Cello Concerto No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 119, is written in two movements, like his Fourth Piano Concerto. It was composed for a Dutch Cellist, Joseph Hollmann, in 1902. The Second Concerto is much more virtuosic than the First, but does not lack thematic inventiveness and harmonic intricacy.
Music
#"Allegro moderato e maestoso"
#"Andante sostenuto"
The first movement is in sonata form. The second part is a prayer, in E-flat major in simple ternary form. The first movement ends with a scale in artificial harmonics, like the scale in the First Cello Concerto. The second movement is a "moto perpetuo" in G minor. It ends abruptly in a cadenza, followed by a major-key recapitulation of the first movement, and a coda.
