Edition for violin and cello, violin part and cello performance score.
In
the present duo Hob Vl:D1, Joseph Haydn treats the two instruments
thoroughly as equals and writes technically demanding music for each.
The Work is cast in an early classical form, whose three movements
(Adagio non molto – Allegro – Menuetto with three variations) are all in
the main key of D major. The present publication is based on an edition
in parts issued by Haydn’s London publisher William Forster in 1781/82,
in which the Work was called »A favorite DUETT.« The sparse performance
markings in this source were appositely supplemented by the editor and
are signalized by broken lines.
