“Sometimes the symphonies … are destined to showcase the musicians’ talents” – a music dictionary of the time thus commented on a new genre, the “Symphonie concertante”. The playful competition between the solo instruments proved very popular with the audience and sparked rivalry between the concert organizers in the music metropolis London: Ignaz Pleyel received a great deal of praise for one such “concertante” and only four weeks later Haydn achieved great fame for Hob. I:105. This attractive work is now published in piano reduction so that it can be played without orchestral accompaniment.
The performing material is published by Bärenreiter.
Reviews
This felicitous work is too little heard; get together with your woodwind friends and enjoy this truly lovely Haydn gem. Meticulously edited parts and piano reduction point to Henle’s continuing scholarship.

Ursprünglich für Orchester komponiert, hinterlässt auch die Klavierfassung (Siegfried Petrenz) einen hervorragenden Eindruck: Dem Bearbeiter gelingt es, aus dem keineswegs immer einfachen Orchestersatz eine original und originell klingende Klavierpartie zu destillieren, in die sich die Soloinstrumente hervorragend einpassen. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass sich trotz der ungewöhnlichen Besetzung die eine oder andere Gelegenheit findet, ein so schönes Stück Musik in einem Konzert zu präsentieren.
