full_question: This piece was premiered using soloist Felix Salmond, though the performance was met with scathing reviews after con- ductor Albert Coates wasted rehearsal time at the composer's expense. This work's adagio third movement concludes with a lyrical melody in B-flat major before transitioning into the more imposing B-flat minor opening of the finale without pause. This piece's adagio-moderato first movement opens with a recitative on the solo instrument followed immediately by a short cadenza. The six-bar main theme of this piece is then first carried by the violas in 9/8 time before it is echoed by the soloist. This piece was first recorded electronically with soloist Beatrice Harrison, though its most famous performance was conducted by John Barbirolli and recorded by a 20-year old female soloist. For 10 points, identify this piece popularized by Jacqueline du Pre, an E minor composition for orchestra and a string instrument written by the composer of the Enigma Variations.
