Cassado, Requiebros for Cello and Piano

Brilliant, passionate and unmistakably Spanish in character, Gaspar Cassadó’s Requiebros is a virtuoso showpiece for cello and piano that combines lyrical warmth with rhythmic vitality. Published in 1931 and dedicated to Cassadó’s teacher, the legendary cellist Pablo Casals, the work allows the cello to move between expressive singing lines and energetic, technically demanding passages. Its title can be understood as an affectionate compliment or an expression of admiration, fitting the music’s warm and spirited personality. This Schott Music edition presents the work in D major for cello and piano and is suitable for advanced performers seeking colourful and engaging concert repertoire.
