One of this composeras cello concertos begins with the soloist playing what sounds like aG-E-B-B-flata [read slowly], although it is in E-flat major. The development of the first movement of his fifth symphony begins with a low ashort-short-longa piano figure and the French horns loudly playing the first theme at the bottom of their range. This composeras first cello concerto has a brass section of just one French horn, and his C-minor first piano concerto uses an orchestra of just strings and one trumpet.
