About the book
Joseph Haydn wrote his Cello Concerto in D in 1783 for Anton Kraft, the principal cellist of Prince Esterházy's orchestra. For a century it was thought to be Kraft's own, until Haydn's autograph turned up in 1951. Its three movements, a lyrical Allegro moderato, an Adagio in A major and a 6/8 rondo, keep the soloist high on the instrument, in the thumb positions, for much of their length.
This is Julius Klengel's edition (Edition Peters), with his three cadenzas and all of his fingerings: ǫ marks the thumb, a circle the harmonic, I to IV the string. On a cello at the printed key the app shows the edition's fingerings; in another key, or on another instrument, it leaves them off.
