Prokofiev completed part of the first movement of this sonata, leaving behind sketches for the rest. Vladimir Blok took up these sketches and ultimately completed the first movement, which is now available.

After the great success of his “Élégie,” Fauré's publisher Hamelle urged him to write another, similarly effective piece for cello and piano. “Papillon” was probably already composed in 1884, though it was only published in 1898. Whereas Fauré just wanted to call it “Piece for Violoncello,” his publisher insisted on a more evocative title, and ultimately succeeded in giving it its present name (meaning “butterfly”). But Fauré is said to have been indignant, remarking: “Butterfly or dung fly – use whatever you want.” The success of the work proved Hamelle right – “Papillon” is today just as popular with cellists as the “Élegie,” and is now available as a Henle Urtext edition.

This brief, utterly charming and tuneful piece was probably committed to paper in 1894, though Fauré based it on an older version for cello and organ. The subsequent tempo change to “Andante quasi Allegretto” made the work's original title of “Andante” obsolete. The change of name to “Romance” was also better suited to its songlike nature. After its first performance in November 1894, the piece rapidly became popular and is a well-loved encore piece at concerts today. This “Romance” continues the Henle Urtext series of short pieces for cello by Fauré, for which we have been able to engage David Geringas to add the performance markings.

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.

Just a few months after completing his Cello Sonata op. 6, Strauss composed another work for this instrument: a Romance for cello and orchestra, which remained unpublished during his lifetime. According to the autograph manuscript, the composition was finished on June 27, 1883, and Strauss also prepared the piano reduction himself. The Romance is regarded as one of Strauss' most mature youthful works, though it was long overshadowed by the cello sonata, despite several quite successful performances given by the then-famous principal cellist of the Munich Court Orchestra, Hanus Wihan. Only since the posthumous first edition of 1986 has the music world been rediscovering this striking work, which now also appears in a Henle Urtext edition.
