Synopsis

An homage of Tchaikovsky to the great admired example of Mozart and a challenge to the solo cellist: 'Rokoko-Variationen', the theme of which follows the style of 18th-century music closely, demands a maximum of performing and technical brilliance from the solo cellist. The variations are musically connected by orchestral ritornellos which, with regard to music and substance, almost form a second sequence of variations.
