Haydn's music often has an unbelievably sentimental quality which underlies it in a subtle way. The mask of it, simultaneously, is full of life and fun. This combination makes it the most wholesome, sweet, and fulfilling listening experience I know of.
I hate hate hate ads in the middle of a concerto. I hate even MORE an ad before the first movement even ends. Imagine somebody jumping onstage right after the cadenza and screaming,” EAT AT JOE’S!” And then dashing off stage while the movement ends...idiots.
Historically Informed Performance - Pitch: Modern performances of 'baroque' music on 'original' instruments are usually played at A-415, although there was no standard pitch in 17th & 18th century Europe. A-392, A-409, and higher pitches were used in France, depending on the date and type of music. Handel's tuning fork (London, 1751) is A-422.5. By 1769 (the date of this Haydn violin concerto) the pitch in Esterhazy was likely A-420-422. In 1780, in nearby Vienna, Mozart's piano maker, Stein, used an A-421.6 tuning fork. In 1789, the Viennese woodwind maker, Frederich Lempp, advertised his instruments at A-430 - the pitch typically used for modern performances of 'classical' music on 'original' instruments. Musical pitch continued to rise, until by 1930's A-440 had become an informal standard in Europe & US, although symphony orchestra now often tune to A-441-445.

Io credo che per gustare questa musica bisogna essere in pace con se stessi col prossimo e con Dio.Non posso mai pensare che un delinquente si mettare a sentire queste armonie che richiamano a mondi di letizia di pace di bontà celestiale.E mi chiedo dove siamo arrivati a far musica oggi..
Haydn’s three extant violin concertos (one is lost) are not his greatest works though they are lovely to listen to; the C major is by some distance the best, this G major one is technically the easiest meaning that it is almost certainly pre-1761 and his Eszterhazy appointment, the A major is possibly an Eszterhazy work written for the fine 1st violin leader Luigi Tomasini and I would rate it between the other two. Compared to the contemporary symphonies and early divertimenti a quattro (string quartets), Haydn’s early concertos are some of his most ordinary works.
I knew all about Joseph Haydn even studying the classical era in which he wrote much of his famous works but for some reason never listened to anything he had written. I mean they said he was a genius wrote over 100 symphonies and the princes own personal composer yet I still never thought of listing to some of his works. Anyway I'm glad I found this it is really beautiful. Thanks.
Ya, I know what you mean about Haydn, He's so famous/well documented, & he has so much music, but for some reason, I barely every listen to him. I personally, find his music to be "Boring", & I think it has to do with the fact that its SO correct & perfect. I understand that he's one of the great's, & that it's also likely that my musical intelligence is not high enough to enjoy him the way others do. I generally listen to Bach, Scarlatti, Monteverdi, Fux, Paganini, & Mendelssohn, etc., but I know that list will grow to include all the greats, including Haydn, once I understand them & appreciate them.
How are there so many commenters who can tell that it’s a half step low but don’t even know what baroque tuning is? It makes me feel bad for not having perfect pitch
I’m playing for my all-region solo. It’s a wonderful piece, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to play it all (and well) by my audition. I feel so old playing this because I’ll be 15 during the audition! Most people who play this are like 10! I’ll give this my best shot though!
@@aureliebeckers2626 i didn’t make regionals last year (literally 3 chairs away) but i made it this last year! and turns out, the solo is for all state, rip. so next year i think i’ll go for state!

Aika Voo ayyy good luck to you!! i still have no idea what districts for me is doing. i don't even know if i'm going to be able to audition but i hope so!
really wished i hadn't listened to this version first- now playing it at A-440 sounds wrong/less beautiful. i still love learning this piece and i look forward to the idea of mastering it.
Yeah I know right! I needed help with the counting and after listening to it I played, and the sound was totally different. I was waiting for this comment 😂
Jérémie L'Hostis Baroque tuning means that A was tuned to 415 Hz, as opposed to the 440 Hz that we're used to today. In other words, the whole song was lowered by half a step, and it just sounds strange to me.
nowadays we say: baroquetuning: 415 hz, modern tuning: 440 hz. But there always were many tunings. In the time of haydn the tuning was probably 420-430 hz.
Haven't checked, but if you think so, you are probably right. Cadenzas typically vary a lot, sometimes with every soloists interpretation or even with each performance. To find the exactly correct version among published/printed sheet music can often be quite difficult or even impossible, if it has not been published...
The Musical Nerd Show yeah, you‘re right! There are a lot of different cadenzas, the one i‘m playing is different than the written one and the played one. In all the RUclips concertos, i found ONE playing the same cadenza as me😂
the tuning of baroque instruments is slightly lower, whilst modern violinists tune to an A at 440 hertz baroque violinists tune to A at roughly 415hz so its slightly flatter
Slightly... I'd say a lot! I can't play it now because I listened to it so many times and this tuning is just stuck in my head!! Everything I play is out of tune and sounds horrible, I hate myself
The Breitkopf & Haertel edition is rather over-marked-up isn't it, cluttered up with far too many editorial markings (a lot of which don't make much sense). I'd recommend the Henle edition.
Hi I want to congratulate you for the excellent video! This concert is very beautiful! And I want to ask you a favor, you could spend the cadence of the first movement of this video? It is very cute and I do not get anywhere, I need it because I'm studying. Thank you.
Why is this recording played a half-step lower than what it is? It's supposed to be in G major but this recording is in G flat even though the music is in G
James Ngo Haydn lived from 1732-1809... pretty sure he was a classical era composer. Perhaps during the earlier stages of his life, baroque tuning was used?
@Philip Kasimir well I've had a history with music since age 5. I just don't know a lot of music theory or terminology. I can play well and I even sometimes compose music of my own.
Sources of this concerto are a bit sketchy, according to Henle, so it could be missing from the score. I certainly don't think it's an inadvertent error on the part of the players, and I think D# works very well (it's harmonically fine). I only commented because I've performed this work, and so it jumped out, as a rather nice surprise.

Not surprising that Mozart would borrow from his mentor.

Oh, gotta love baroque tuning. Takes a while to get used to :/
It isn't baroque at all...

NO NOTHING TO LOVE ABOUT IT
This was the last concert I played with my violin teacher before stopping. I honestly, should play again and learn it, it's a beautiful piece...
Fun fact : every note is wrong regarding the sheet , because instead of beginning by a G , it begins by a F#.
magnifico concerto!!! delicato e fresco!!! E' un piacere ascoltarlo.
8:55 Adagio - Second Movement
Who's cadenza was being played in the first movement?
Is it possible that you played it one note lower than it really is? O.o
Baroque tuning typically uses 415 hz instead of 440.
I play this song and it is also my favorite part to play and to listen!!! :)
This is not a song, but a piece.
Do you happen to know who the violinist is that is playing the piece?
The info box says it's Simon Standage
Is it just me or does the cadenza playing not match the displayed sheet music?
( I mean gorgeous playing, buuuut)
Haven't checked, but if you think so, you are probably right.
Cadenzas typically vary a lot, sometimes with every soloists interpretation or even with each performance.

I play a handwritten cadenza, arranged by my teacher and their friend in the 80s😅
Thanks for posting this beautiful music.
Très belle interprétation
Dónde puedo obtener esa versión en pdf? Me cuesta encontrarla
I hear very well the sound of old instruments and the pitch around 415-425 Hz but who is performing?
With orchestra this piece sounds a bit diffrent from just the solo parts. I think I should go an practising.
Thanks for putting this online^^
the tuning of baroque instruments is slightly lower, whilst modern violinists tune to an A at 440 hertz baroque violinists tune to A at roughly 415hz so its slightly flatter

Why is this recording played a half-step lower than what it is? It's supposed to be in G major but this recording is in G flat even though the music is in G
It's baroque tuning. They tuned to 415Hz which is a half step lower than our tuning nowadays (which is 440Hz)
Perfect pitch problems 🤔😂
@@deborahkliewer1418 no. The problem is that people nowadays are habituated to modern pitch. ;)
Alguien me puede explicar porque después de largue no suena igual que en la partitura, que pasa ahí?
The cadenza is not the same as the sheet
Ernando Oliveira Ribeiro that s because Haydn didn't write a cadenza himself and so there are lots of different cadenzas

Which is appropriate for this piece since Haydn composer in the baroque era
James Ngo Haydn lived from 1732-1809... pretty sure he was a classical era composer. Perhaps during the earlier stages of his life, baroque tuning was used?
Haydn was a Classical Era composer. He's literally the definition of Classical Genre (along with Mozart, but Haydn came first).
They're probably using A = 423. That's the tuning that was used at the time of Mozart and Haydn
