Joseph Haydn
Organ Concerto C major Hob. XVIII:10 (First Edition)
Joseph Haydn left five organ concerti to posterity. Their genesis can only be approximately determined, but is probably datable to the 1750s, when Haydn was still active, inter alia, as organist to Count Haugwitz. The C major Concerto Hob. XVIII: 10, transmitted only in one single manuscript, was not rediscovered until the 1960s and first published by the Henle Urtext edition in 1969. In the sole surviving manuscript, the solo instrument is identified as a harpsichord, but various criteria unequivocally suggest that it was intended for the organ. It belongs to the type of brief, easily playable solo concerto with string accompaniment.
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.
