About this piece
A three-movement concerto in F major (Allegro moderato, Andantino sostenuto, Vivace molto), dedicated to the French cellist Jules Delsart and first performed in May 1882 at the Salle Érard in Paris under Charles Lamoureux. It was not published in Jaëll's lifetime. The autograph score and parts at the Bibliothèque nationale de France are scanned on IMSLP, which also has a freely licensed 2026 typeset score, solo part and piano reduction by Benjamin Stern. A Lento movement that survives only in fragments has been completed by modern performers, and some performances, such as Raphaela Gromes's, include it as an extra slow movement, making the work almost half an hour long.
