Georges Enescu is primarily known as a Romanian composer, but he was also an accomplished pianist, violinist and conductor. The piece de concert for viola and piano represents the composer’s single contribution to the genre. There are definite French elements to this piece such as the sudden tempo changes, and the level of specificity to tempo and character markings are often overlooked in performance.Elias Goldstein
