The Concerto in C Minor, Op. 8, is comprised of three movements performed without pause; however, the second movement can stand alone.  The outer movements contain the work’s lip trills and the fast technical sections with rapid sixteenth-note passages.  These two movements also have lyrical, melodic lines.  The slow second movement has a relaxed tempo and feel.  It is in 9/8 meter, has a quasi-cadenza, and allows the performer to demonstrate his/her sensitivity of musical phrasing and dynamic range.  This standard work, especially the second movement, is approachable by a younger player; however, it does require superb technique to perform the first and third movements.
