Haydn, Violin Concerto No2 Hob. VIIA No4 in G major (Peters)

Bright Classical elegance and spirited virtuosity define this charming concerto by Joseph Haydn. The Violin Concerto in G major, Hob. VIIa:4 (often referred to as Concerto No. 2) showcases Haydn’s gift for graceful melody, buoyant rhythms, and refined technical writing. Featuring passages in the higher register, double stops, dotted-note figures, and elegant ornamentation, the concerto was crafted to display the artistry of Luigi Tomasini, principal violinist at Esterháza. Of Haydn’s four violin concertos—one now lost—this G major work stands out for its lively character and Classical clarity. This Edition Peters publication presents a reliable and practical violin and piano reduction, ideal for advanced study and recital preparation.
