Violin Concerto No. 1 (Haydn)

Portrait by Ludwig Guttenbrunn, painted c. 1791–92, of Joseph Haydn c. 1770

The Violin Concerto No. 1 in C major (Hob. viia/1) by Joseph Haydn, fatto per il luigi, was written in the 1760s for a well-known violinist of the time, Luigi Tomasini, who was just back from Italy and soon became the concertmaster of the Esterházy orchestra.^[1]

None of Haydn's violin concertos exist today in autograph form.^[2] This work went unpublished until the mid-twentieth century and has come down to violinists in only eight copies.
