Joseph Haydn (Franz Joseph Haydn,1732-1809) is one of the three great composers who defined the Viennese Classical style along with Mozart and Beethoven. the "Father of the Symphony" made a significant contribution to the firm establishment of the sonata form and four-movement style. The symphony was first used as an operatic overture in Italy, notably by Vivaldi and Scarlatti, and later was established as what is now known as the symphony largely due to the Mannheim musicians. But Haydn should be credited for the establishment of the consolidated symphony form.
Of Haydn's six to eight cello concertos, only two are regularly played and widely loved: Cello concerto No.1 and No.2. Composed in 1760s for Joseph weigl, Cello Concerto No.1 in C major features bright and playful qualities typical of the middle period of Haydn's career. the first movement, Moderato, is fast enough to be considered as Allegro. The cello presents soft and confident melodies rather than physically sweet ones. The Adagio movement is particularly impressive in its beautiful string melodies of the first section. Soon the warm, expressive cello follows. The Allegro molto finale reminds of the last movement of his symphony. The playful orchestral expression is also well supported by the lively cello melodies.
Haydn's Cello Concerto No.2 in D major(Op.101) was once regarded as written by Anton Kraft, the principal cellist as the Esterhazy court, until Haydns autograph was discovered in Vienna in 1954. Considered one of the pieces Haydn wrote during his last stay at the Esterhazy, Cello Concerto No.2 features the soloist cello in quite delightful mood.
The first movement is in typical sonata form. The cello exposition following the orchestral one presents delightful bright melodies and brilliant passages. In the development section, the short orchestral opening is soon followed by the first theme of cello and then the diverse variations. The cadenza in recapitulation is especially impressive in its melodies demanding virtuoso cello techniques. The soloist cello opens the second Adagio movement. the repetitive melodies are well supported by the orchestra. The final Allegro is a rondo that also feature delightful melodies and impressive closing of soloist cello.
