Summary of This Score
This Violin Concerto in A major (Hob. VIIa:3) belongs to a Haydn still marked by a certain Baroque spirit: lively passages, rhythmic energy, brilliance in the upper register, and solo writing that highlights agility as much as clarity of expression. It features an "Italianate" elegance in melodic turns, with virtuosity that remains in service of the line and dance, rather than the experimental exuberance of later works.
Probably composed in the second half of the 1760s for the orchestra of Prince Esterházy's court, this concerto is often associated with the demanding musical environment of the court, and perhaps with the first violinist Luigi Tomasini. For the performer, it is an ideal score to develop informed classical playing: clear articulation, coherent bowings, management of contrasts, and sense of phrasing, while working on endurance and precision in the brilliant passages.
The Urtext edition is based on the complete edition of Haydn's works also published by G. Henle, and stands out by a presentation designed for practical use: the fingerings and bowings by Kurt Guntner offer concrete solutions, useful both in study and stage preparation, while the cadenzas by Franz Beyer provide a polished musical option, respectful of the style, to secure and personalize the soloist's moments of freedom.
