The concert for the cello and orchestra of the Austrian composer Friedrich Cerha from 1996, performed in the same year during the Berliner Festspiel, and was performed by Heinrich Schiff with the Berlin Philharmonic, led by Michael Gielen. In this composition, the cello has more the position of the most important instrument from the orchestra than it occupies a position as a solo instrument opposite the orchestra.
For the Wien Modern Festival in 1989, Cerha received a Schiff assignment for a cello concert. That eventually became a one-piece work: Fantasy piece in C's way. The C refers initially to Jacques Callot, the French sixteenth century etcher of military, satirical or morbid scenes. But more is the C for the composer's last name. In 1996, the two outer parts followed to complete it as "Concerto for cello and orchestra". The parts are simply called parts 1, 2 and 3. What is noticeable is that the two outer parts sound much more modern than the middle part, while the time difference between composing is only seven years. The two added parts make a tumultuous impression with the necessary percussion, and require the virtue of the cellist both virtuosity and energy. The quieter second part, the original composition thus, gives him the opportunity to express his sensitivity in the more intimate passages. The lock sizes are very separate; The concert ends with solopercussion. Source and discography
