David, your misspelling was not Anton Reicha instead of Joseph Reicha. You mixed up things with Joseph Reiche, and that name was false again, as the person with Reiche as family name was Gottfried Reiche.
Definitel did Haydn write these two concertos, but only no.1 survived as autograph, which I could hold in my hands once. Concerto HOB VIId no 3 is preserved as autograph. It is known to us as Concerto no.1. Concerto HOB VIId No.4 was mentioned in the early (18th cent) Breitkopf catalogue (No.81) "Concerto da Hayden a Corno princ. 2 Viol, V. e B. The copy by Mandyczewski is in the library of the Musikfreunde in Vienna. This is the source for the Breitkopf publication 1898. Mandyczewski received some copies from former Haydn orchestra horn player Prienster�s family. So the authenticity is a fact. BTW: I owned Anton Priensters application for the pension fund (Musikfreunde in Wien, Haydn Societaet). This concerto is known to us as the no.2 concerto. ======================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Jewell Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 9:48 PM To: The Horn List Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Haydn horn concerto Hans - I thank you for your attention to detail. I did mean Joseph Reicha, This whole Haydn topic naturally leads to my proposing the following question: did Haydn write both of the solo horn concertos currently attributed to him? Hans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: He, he, it was not Reiche but Reicha at the Oettingen Wallerstein court, a very big difference. And Heiden was a very common spelling then. You find it at other libraries as well. The copies were not written by the composer but by copyists who were in a hurry always. The melody source was the common "melody reservoir" of Southern Germany, Austria & Bohemia anyway. Yes it is a bit to earthen for papa Haydn, off course. But does it matter ? It is played all over the world. Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
