Valse

Вальс

Sketch, C major (date unknown)

  • An unrealised project, possibly dating from 1893.
  • Written for cello with piano or cello for orchestra.

History

Apart from a single musical sketch, there are no other references to this project, which could have been intended as a chamber piece for cello with piano accompaniment, or as an orchestral work. It is possible that this piece is connected with Tchaikovsky’s projected Cello Concerto.
