Concerto pour violon et violoncelle en La mineur Op. 102 - 2 : Vivace non troppo

About this work

The historical title labels this Vivace non troppo as the second movement. The preserved score and reference catalogue establish that it is actually the Double Concerto’s third and final movement. The cello presents the refrain with almost playful mobility before violin and orchestra take it up. That immediate circulation sets a rondo in motion through a chain of replies.

The soloists alternate unisons, imitation and complementary passagework. Rhythm must remain legible when double stops and registral shifts thicken the texture. A heavy bass slows the movement, while an overly dry attack breaks the phrase. The orchestra remains an active participant in transitions and prepares each return of the main motif.

Rehearse the refrain at one tempo with cello, violin and orchestral strings separately. Compare articulation, note length and accent before combining the sections. Across twenty-four pages, identify the cadences that genuinely restart the form. The lively character comes from coordination rather than continuous acceleration.
