With 2 violino concertato-Haydn's Symphony No.8 is the final piece in his triptych on the times of the day consisting of the symphonies Le Matin Le Midi and Le Soir (Hoboken I:6-8). The cycle originated in 1761 on a commission from Haydn's patron Prince Anton Esterházy. Whether the Prince was hoping for a counterpart to Vivaldi's famous concertos on the four seasons or pursued a different idea can no longer be determined. It was doubtless the purpose of these concertante symphonies to present to a select audience the Prince's chamber ensemble which had been assembled or expanded that spring as well as its new conductor. The pieces are laid out on a large scale full of pomp andsplendour and the scoring at times divided into thirteen separate parts offers virtually every player an opportunity to display his prowess as a soloist.At that time the Esterházy ensemble was made up of six or seven players of the violin or viola (the seventh was actually retained as a flautist) one player each of the violoncello and violone two oboists doubling on flute two horn players and a bassoonist. This listing includes Haydn himself who conducted the ensemble from the first violinist's desk. Contrary to a widely held belief there was no harpsichord. Indeed the only genres that employed a keyboard instrument at that time in the Viennese area were vocal - namely operas cantatas and church music.Urtext from Joseph Haydn WerkeFull score & parts (BA4673) available for sale

Les ?uvres concertantes composées par Haydn à la cour du prince Esterházy reflètent le niveau instrumental des membres individuels de l?orchestre d?Esterházy. Ainsi Haydn écrivit-il le concerto pour violon en ut majeur Hob. VIIa:1 pour le premier violon de l?orchestre de la cour Luigi Tomasini violoniste célèbre de son temps et également compositeur. La brillance technique et la beauté des tournures à l?italienne de ce concerto d?esprit encore quasiment baroque ont certainement été inspirées à Haydn par Tomasini. La partition de l?édition urtext se fonde sur l?édition complète des ?uvres de Haydn également parue aux éditions G. Henle. La préface détaille les sources utilisées.Cette édition est complétée de coups d?archet et de doigtés soigneusement élaborés par Kurt Guntner ainsi que des cadences réalisées par Franz Beyer.
