This work is unusual in that it is composed in one movement, though the concerto can be divided into three sections that function like a traditional concerto’s movements:

  1. Allegro non troppo
  2. Allegretto con moto
  3. Tempo primo

The concerto premiered in Paris in January 1873, with Auguste Tolbecque as soloist.
