Variations on a Rococo Theme, for cello and orchestra in A major, op. 33

The Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33, is a concertante work for cello and orchestra by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It is the closest he ever came to writing a full concerto for cello and orchestra. The style was inspired by Mozart, Tchaikovsky's role model, and makes it clear that Tchaikovsky admired the Classical style very much. However, the Theme is not Rococo in origin, but actually an original theme in the Rococo style.
