Cycle Cello, the soul of romanticism

Romantic cello

Symphonic Music

The cello was very popular during the Romantic period, but it did not inspire as rich a repertoire as the violin or the piano. In 1872 Camille Saint-Saëns set out to make up for that: with his First Cello Concerto he provided cellists with a piece that is to this day among their favourites.
