Joseph Haydn
Violin Concerto A major Hob. VIIa:3
As with Joseph Haydn’s violin concerto in C major Hob. Vlla:1, the concerto in A major Hob.Vlla:3 breathes a certain Baroque spirit that is full of verve, technical brilliance and a beautiful “Italian” tone. The performer cannot yet expect to find Haydn’s joy in experimentation that characterises his later years. The concerto was most probably written in the second half of the 1760s for the Hofkapelle of the Esterhazy Princes, possibly for its Italian concertmaster Luigi Tomasini. Our Urtext edition is based on the Haydn Complete Edition, also published by G. Henle Verlag, and is rounded off by sophisticated string bowings and fingerings by Kurt Guntner, and by cadenzas created by Franz Beyer.
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.
