Concerto for oboe and orchestra in C major Hob VIIg: C1
The Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra in C major Hob VIIg: C1 was ascribed to Joseph Haydn for a long time , but it is likely not from him.
Sentences:
The first movement, Allegro spirituoso, begins with a long introduction by the orchestra, in which the individual themes of the movement are presented. Shortly after the oboe begins, there is a brief cadence-like throw in by the solo instrument. The movement ends in the classic pattern with a cadenza by the soloist and an orchestral aftermath .
The second movement, Andante, begins with an oboe cantilena, which is varied further as the movement progresses.
Rondo at the beginning of the third movement . Allegretto introduces the oboe to a theme that is varied with virtuosity over time, until at the end, after the furious runs of the solo oboe, the orchestra and soloist take it up again in its original form. This theme, reminiscent of a German folk song, also appears in a woodwind octet by Leopold Kozeluch , a late classical composer of Bohemian-Austrian descent who was active in Vienna and whose style is strikingly similar to that of the oboe concerto.
Question of attribution
In the second half of the 18th century, works by Haydn were extremely popular internationally and guaranteed publishers high profits. The works of other composers such as Karl Stamitz , Michael Haydn , Christian Cannabich or Leopold Hofmann were often published under the name Joseph Haydn. It is now clear that the oboe concerto is not a Haydn original either, which does not prevent the music business from continuing to produce the work under the name of Haydn and thus promoting the extraordinary popularity of this work.
