Abstract:
Wilhelm Fitzenhagen was a German cellist, composer and instructor, best known today as the dedicatee of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo theme. Volume Seven of the Romantic Cello Concerto series features his two triumphant concertos alongside several other original works, and his (in) famous version of the Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations all performed by one of today's great German virtuosos, Alban Gerhardt.
General Note:
The 4th work is a greatly altered version of Tchaikovsky's original score by Fitzenhagen; the 5th work originally for cello with harmonium, organ, or piano accompaniment; arranged for cello and small orchestra by the composer.
