Cello Concerto (Kraft)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cello Concerto in C Major Op.4 - Antonín Kraft was principal cellist under Joseph Haydn. Haydn, Beethoven and other composers dedicated their cello works to him. The cello parts to Haydn's D major Cello Concerto and Beethoven's Triple Concerto, Op.56 were written to fit his technique. Haydn's D Major Cello Concerto was attributed to Kraft for almost a century. Kraft's Cello concerto has an undoubtful influence of the great "Papa Haydn".
