Haydn's Violin Concerto in C major has always been closely linked to Breitkopf & Hartel, which began selling copies of the work back in 1769. The first edition came out in 1909 and helped secure the work a broad dissemination and lasting popularity. Strangely enough, this first edition is one of the most important sources today, since its own source a copy of Haydn's autograph, perhaps the autograph itself was lost at the end of World War II. Although other copies from Haydn's time were made, they are textually less reliable. Walter Heinz Bernstein has created an easily playable and pleasant-sounding piano score on the basis of the first edition, whereby he has respected the early classical continuo practice. As he did earlier in the G major Concerto (EB 8606), Thomas Zehetmair has once again accepted the challenging task of embellishing the solo part with stylistically accurate cadenzas and flourishes. This delightful concerto is thus now available in a modern edition.The piano-harpsichord part by Walter Heinz Bernstein features a continuo part in keeping with the late Baroque performing tradition and offers a much cleaner, unfettered realization.(Stringendo)

Joseph Haydns Organ Concerto in C major Hob XVIII:1 was composed in 1756. The autograph stems from the archives of Breitkopf & Hartel and has been housed at the Universitats- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt since 1953. The first edition (score and orchestral parts) was published in 1953 by Breitkopf & Hartel in Wiesbaden. The present Urtext edition is the first to take into account the brass parts prescribed in the autograph, but not written out contained in a contemporary copy.

Our new edition is based on the autograph. For the first time, the composition appears with brass (2 trumpets) as it is written in the autograph. Almost all transcripts preserved are presenting this version, too.
