This concerto is small in scale; the first movement making much of an energetically rising arpeggio figure, a lyrical second movement with some chromatic harmony that foreshadows parts of Sheherazade and a brisk march-like finale with an extended cadenza.
In addition to the traditional cadenza this edition contains an alternative for the more advanced player,
A solo part in treble clef also is included.
"... This new edition should broaden the appeal of this old perennial to a wider range of players. There is an alternative cadenza included,…and there is a treble clef version…very nicely presented, includes interesting programme notes and some particularly useful performance notes."
