Summary of This Score
Among the horn concertos associated with Joseph Haydn, this one holds a special place: two of the three concertos originally attributed to the composer have been lost, and other horn works have long circulated under his name by mistake. The Horn Concerto in D major, Hob. VIId:3, is therefore a cornerstone of the classical repertoire, both for stylistic study and performance.
This Urtext edition, based on the Haydn Complete Edition, aims to provide performers with reliable and clear musical material. It offers two solo horn parts : the first, in D, follows Haydn's autograph and naturally targets performers wishing to approach the work in the spirit of the natural horn (and the period's constraints, notably in the management of harmonics and passing notes). The second part, provided in parallel, is intended for the modern horn in F, an ideal solution for contemporary musicians and orchestras.
A major asset of this score lies in the inclusion of cadenzas for all three movements. These, composed by horn player Johannes Ritzkowsky, exploit as much as possible the limited possibilities of the natural horn while remaining musical, well-constructed, and comfortable to play on a modern instrument. The result: a practical supplement, immediately usable in concert, and particularly useful for preparing a stylistically informed interpretation without unnecessarily complicating the work.
