Concerto for Cello No. 1 in C, Hob.VIIb:1

Description

Franz Joseph Haydn's (1732-1809) CONCERTO FOR CELLO in C, Hob. VIIb: 1 is a rare instance where a masterpiece was lost, in this case for almost 200 years, before being rediscovered. The manuscript was discovered by Oldrich Pulkert at the Czech National Library in Prague among the Raden�n Castle collection. The work was composed between 1761 and 1765 for his longtime friend Joseph Franz Weigl, then the principal cellist in the Esterh�zy Orchestra. As the refinements of the Classical concerto were yet to be established by Mozart, this concerto reflects the Baroque ritornello form. This edition is completed by Oldrich Pulkert and Karel �olc, with the solo cello part being edited by Milo� S�dlo, who also gave the 20th century premiere of the work. Instrumentation: 0.2.0.0: 2.0.0.0: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Solo Cello. Reprint edition.
