Owen Farr writes about the music... The cello concerto in C Major was listed in one of Haydn’s own catalogues but remained unknown for almost 200 years until it was discovered by the Czech musicologist Oldrich Pulkert in 1961. The work was probably written for one of Haydn’s closest friends, Joseph Weigi who played principal cello for the court orchestra of Prince Paul Anton Esterazy. It is thought to have been written for an Esterhazy court concert in Fisenstadt during the early 1760’s shortly after Haydn became Kapellmeister to Esterhazy. Although the work wasn’t discovered until 1961 at a library in Prague. it has become one of Haydn’ most popular works for the cello. Its first modern day performance was May 19th, 1962 in Prague.

Howard Snell writes :
These four pieces were written for Gordon Higginbottom and the Tenor Horn Society, but are equally at home on the Euphonium. While they are essentially playful – “Bagatelle – a trifle, a light piece of verse or music” – two of the movements (2 and 3) tip the cap, with due reverence, to Brahms (including some quotation) and Bach. The third movement, in fact, requires the player to join in creating the piece by choosing a significant number of factors: the tempo, the articulation, and the overall characterisation. Above all, these little pieces require a very wide range of response, both musical and technical: in Nr. 1, for example, the mood varies from light and elegant to raucous and jazzy, while in Nr. 4, helter-skelter is the key. Both contain a certain amount of bad-tempered conflict between the soloist and the pianist. part.
