Haydn, Concerto No. 1 in C for Violin and Orchestra (Piano) (Peters)

Sparkling Classical brilliance and refined virtuosity define this cornerstone concerto by Joseph Haydn. The Violin Concerto No. 1 in C major, Hob. VIIa:1 is celebrated for its elegant melodic lines, lively dotted rhythms, expressive ornamentation, and demanding passages in the violin’s upper register. Featuring double stops and agile technical writing, the concerto was crafted to highlight the exceptional artistry of Luigi Tomasini, principal violinist of Haydn’s orchestra at Esterháza. Of the four violin concertos Haydn composed—one now lost—this C major concerto remains the most prominent. This Edition Peters publication, edited and supplied with cadenzas by Carl Flesch, presents the work in piano reduction, offering a practical and authoritative resource for advanced performance preparation.
