What is the creative background of Haydn Concerto in C Major?

Cello Concerto No.1 in C major has been buried in aristocratic libraries and libraries for nearly 200 years. Until 196 1 year, poulter, a Czech musician, discovered the handwritten music score of Haydn period in Prague National Library. Later, Feida, the academic director of Haydn College in Cologne, judged that it was a highly credible handwritten music score through the watermark on the music paper, and further confirmed that it was Haydn's cello concerto.

This piece not only has the elegant musical style of Vienna classical music school, but also has considerable difficulty in playing skills, which can be called the masterpiece of cello concerto in that period. This song is also the great contribution of Haydn, the father of symphony, to cello art. The whole song is divided into three movements:

The first movement in c major, 3/4 beats. Concerto sonata form. However, the sharp contrast between the general performance and the main performance reflects the trace of polyphonic form; We can feel the lingering charm of Baroque from the monotonous accompaniment. The works that entered the ensemble began with the first theme and ended with a gorgeous ending, which fully demonstrated the concerto transition structure from baroque reproduction form to classical sonata form (fragment 1).

Adagio in F major, 2/4 beat, three voices. This is a quiet and lyrical movement, played by the chief cello and chord instrument. Music is full of elegant melodic beauty, which shows Haydn's unique skills in melodic drama (segment 2).

Allegro in the third movement in C major, 4/4 beats. The form of concerto sonata adopts almost the same structure as the first movement, with a baroque lingering wind. Like the Baroque Concerto, the whole piece always presents the theme concisely, and the part where the lead cello appears exerts the skills of the lead singer (fragment 3).
