"The problem of creating an apt and effective finale must plague every serious composer. Alkan had already provided outstanding solutions in his Grande Sonate and solo Symphonie but here he surpassed himself in an electrifying Saltarello in the dark key of E minor. The opening subject seems to transport the mercurial flight of Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony to the orient. The last few pages are pursued with a pitiless fury that devours every obstacle in a final devastating avalanche.""Alkan included the sonata in the programme of his 'Petit Concert' on April 30, 1875, surprisingly enough not with the sixty-six-year-old Franchomme but with his younger contemporary Leon Jacquard (1826-1886). The writer in the 'Revue et gazette musicale' (May 2, 1875) commented on the pianist's prodigious memory, his absolutely personal approach to the keyboard and a loftiness of style which was equally matched by its poetry. 'The cello sonata' he continues, 'with its wealth of melody and most taxing 'Finale Alla Saltarello' was superbly executed. It received an ovation'. The technical difficulty of this final movement renders its performance an 'event'. Alkan may have realized this when he made a brilliant arrangement for four hands. In this form it can be strongly recommended to piano duettists as an applause-winning wind-up to their programmes; yet it must remain only a partial substitute for the breathtaking 'tour de force' that crowns Alkan's finest chamber work."- Ronald Smith -
