Book Synopsis
Composed in 1783 for Antonin Kraft, cellist in the court orchestra of Prince Esterhazy, Haydn's D major cello concerto for cello is more relaxed than its predecessor composed nearly two decades before. Though some authorities considered its authenticity questionable, this was disproved with the discovery of the composer's manuscript in 1951. Of Haydn's two cello concertos, this one is more demanding for the cellist than its older sibling in C major (whose manuscript was discovered a decade later). The score offered here is reduced-format version of the performing edition prepared by Clark McAlister first issued in 2010. The large conductor score and orchestra parts are also available for sale from Serenissima Music.
