Talk:Cello Concerto No. 1 (Haydn)

The only cellist?
It is possible that Weigl was the only cellist in the Esterházy Orchestra when Haydn composed the concerto, since there is only one cello line in the score, marked alternately “solo” and “tutti.”

On the top of the article it's written that Weigl was a "principal cellist". Then, how is it possible that he was the only one? Soloist playing orchestra part of his instrument during the tutti was a normal thing. Soloist wasn't considered to be a completely separated player, he was just a member of the orchestra with some virtuoso abilities and a few solos in the concert. During the tutti, he played with the rest of the orchestra.--78.3.63.198 (talk) 10:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

i would just like to say that the 3rd movement shows Haydn's wit. LIsten to the 3rd movement and you will see that Haydn was a really witty man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.136.153.110 (talk) 02:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
