Haydn, Violin Concerto in A (Henle)

Radiant Classical elegance and refined virtuosity characterize this distinguished concerto by Joseph Haydn. The Violin Concerto in A major, Hob. VIIa:3 showcases Haydn’s masterful blend of lyrical grace and brilliant technical writing. Marked by extensive use of the violin’s upper register, double stops, dotted-note runs, and elegant ornamentation, the concerto was crafted to highlight the exceptional artistry of Luigi Tomasini, principal violinist at Esterháza. Of the four violin concertos Haydn composed—one now lost—this A major work stands as a vibrant example of his concerto style. This authoritative Henle Urtext edition is edited by Günter Thomas and Heinz Lohmann, with piano reduction by Stefan Zorzor and cadenzas by Franz Beyer, offering performers a scholarly and performance-ready resource of the highest quality.
