Violin Concerto No. 1 (Haydn)
The Violin Concerto No. 1 in C major (Hob. viia/1) by Joseph Haydn, fatto per il luigi, was written in the 1760s for a well-known violinist of the time, Luigi Tomasini, who was just back from Italy and soon became the concertmaster of the Esterházy orchestra.[1]
None of Haydn's violin concertos exist today in autograph form.[2] This work went unpublished until the mid-twentieth century and has come down to violinists in only eight copies.
Structure[edit]
The piece has three movements, each written in sonata form, like the first cello concerto from that time.
- Allegro moderato
- Adagio
- Finale: Presto
