Music Minus One Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33 - Tchaikovsky - Cello - Book/CD

Composer: Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky
Format: Softcover with CD
Instrumentation: Cello

The theme that forms the basis for this much-loved concert work is an original Tchaikovsky theme written in a classical rococo style. In a nod to the classical era, Tchaikovsky wrote the piece for a smaller orchestra than was typical in his High Romantic era. Each of the eight variations are run together with only a fermata to separate them. It is pure magic, minus you! Performed by Dominique de Williencourt on violoncello accompanied by Les Orpheistes Chamber Orchestra of Vienna.
