    A curious fact is that many classical composers wrote two works of the same type, but only one of them became known and famous, and the other one was nearly forgotten. A typical case is a famous French composer who had two cello concertos; the first is very famous and had been recorded by every cellist, but the second very few times. Do you know who he was?
