Summary of This Score
This Cello Concerto, composed in 1783, was published between 1804 and 1805 under the number opus 101 "according to the original manuscript" by Joh. André in Offenbach. For a long time, the work circulated with an erroneous attribution to Anton Kraft, which fueled lasting confusion in the history of its interpretation. The still-available autograph, bearing the mention "die me Giuseppe Haydn ", however unambiguously confirms the musical authorship of Haydn, which gives this edition particular interest for both musicians and educators.
Designed for serious practice of the classical repertoire, this score highlights the concertante writing for cello, balancing virtuosity, projection of the melodic line, and rhythmic precision. The presence of the cadenza (included) allows for work on the articulation of the solo discourse and the construction of a free yet structured moment, essential in the balance of a concerto. Note: during public performances using this cadenza, the name of Maurice Gendron must appear in the program, in accordance with the editorial note.
With its difficult level and concise format, this edition is perfectly suited for cellists seeking a reference score, faithful to the sources and designed for the stage. A relevant choice to enrich a library of classical scores centered on Haydn and the great concertante repertoire.
