Gaspar Cassadó taught at Siena's Accademia Musica Chigiana from 1946 to 1952, and again from 1955 until 1962, when he shared the cello teaching duties with André Navarra. Cassadó frequently gave recitals at the school, and the library there allowed me to copy down the programs which he offered on these concerts. These programs are a splendid example of Cassadó's versatility as a composer as well as performer, for his own music was well represented on nearly all the concerts. I have listed the works as they appeared in the printed programs; on occasion, the information given is incomplete. For example, some of the pieces were not arranged by Cassadó himself, and their arrangers are not always listed. When it seemed appropriate, I have included comments of my own in brackets. Aside from pieces like the "Frescobaldi" Toccata and the works by Couperin, most of the transcriptions listed here appear to be legitimate, whether by Cassadó or someone else. Despite their informational shortcomings, these programs are a marvelous snapshot of music-making at this time, and remind us how much has changed in the concert world in recent years.
