Joseph Haydn
Two Duets Hob. XXVa:1 and 2 for Soprano, Tenor and Piano
Carlo Francesco Badini (1715–1810) worked for a long time as a librettist at London’s Italian opera house. In 1791, he wrote the text to Joseph Haydn’s last opera “L’anima del filosofo, ossia Orfeo ed Euridice”. In 1796 Badini collaborated once again with Haydn, resulting in two enchanting chamber duets for soprano, tenor and piano: “Saper vorrei se m’ami” and “Guarda qui che lo vedrai”, whose bucolic setting was very popular at the time. In this Henle Urtext edition, the detailed preface by the editor Marianne Helms offers information on the complex source situation and the publication of these duets.

About the Composer

Joseph Haydn
His immense oeuvre documents the profound changes in music history during the second half of the eighteenth century, leading to the emancipation of instrumental music. His most important genres are the symphony and the string quartet, where he cultivated the technique of motivic-thematic development; he made significant contributions to the instrumental concerto and to piano music; during the last years of his life, he composed his great oratorios. Opera and art song take on a rather subordinate significance.
