- Title:
- Joseph Haydn: Variations in G on the anthem ‘Gott erhalte den Kaiser’, for keyboard; theme and Variation I
- Scope & Content:
-
Autograph. Written in ink on systems of two staves, on the recto of a single leaf. The theme occupies the bottom four staves, and Variation I the upper eight staves. No key signature is given, and tempo directions and expression marks are also absent. On the verso is a note of authenticity, in Italian, by the publisher Artaria, dated Vienna, 11 May 1839, when the manuscript was ceded to Count G. Esterhazy.
Haydn’s own arrangement of movement II from his string quartet op. 76, no. 3. The autograph, and hence the authenticity of this arrangement, was not known to commentators until recently. Anthony van Hoboken, Joseph Haydn. Thematisch-bibliographisches Werkverzeichnis (Mainz, 1957), vol. i, pp. 799-804, discusses the work only in the appendix to the appropriate section.
