Henri Merckel performed on the first complete recording of this piece, playing the Allegretto non Molto third movement Intermezzo that is often omitted.  The only slow movement of this D minor piece is its fourth movement Andante, with the second movement instead being an Allegro Molto scherzando based on the form of a seguidilla.  More successful than the composer's other major attempts at nationalistic music, the Russian Concerto and Norwegian Rhapsody, this piece begins with a first movement habanera that may have anticipated the release of Bizet's Carmen a month later, and was written with Pablo Sarasate as its intended soloist.  FTP, identify this five movement piece that is a violin concerto and not actually a symphony, the master work of Eduard Lalo.
