Edouard Lalo (1823-92) was a French composer whose music was known for its strong melodicism, instrumental color, and progressive, Germanic approach to form and harmony. His Cello Concerto in D minor (1876) combines beautiful melodies with fiery passages and Spanish flavor. It remains a popular work in the cello repertory for students and professionals alike and is an ideal concerto for building and reinforcing left-hand technique. Advanced level, Grade 5.
