Horn Concerto No. 1 (Haydn)

Joseph Haydn's Horn Concerto No. 1 in D major, (Hob. VIId/3) was completed in 1762, "when Haydn was new to the Esterhazy court."[1]

Because of the low range writing in the Adagio, some musicologists believe the concerto was written for Thaddaus Steinmüller. Other musicologists believe it was a present for the baptism ceremony of one of the children of Joseph Leutgeb (for whom Mozart wrote his horn concertos).[2]

Structure

The work is in three movements:

  1. Allegro
  2. Adagio
  3. Allegro
