- Intermezzo and Danza Finale

Cassado was a Spanish contemporary of Pablo Casals. In fact, he may have been Casal's youngest pupil, when he studied with him in Paris in 1910. He was born in Barcelona, the son of a church musician. As a cellist he was more austere and noble, than flamboyant in his approach. He was a good composer, and his pieces are still played today, in particular his Requiebros, and his Concerto in D Minor, which he dedicated to Casals.
