About this edition The difficulty level of this simplified piano accompaniment is very high. The piano part by the composing pianist Clara Schumann is highly complex, and the possibilities for reduction are limited. Philip Lehmann achieves, with this arrangement, the possibility of an accompaniment even without prior piano study.In the third movement, the present notation format has been chosen to provide as manageable options as possible, depending on the performer‘s abilities: accompaniment with just the bass note, chordally on the downbeat, or with tremolo in the specified rhythm. To preserve this rhythmic specific feature (quintuplets, sixteenth-note rests) of the accompaniment in the right hand, the rhythmic structure is notated from the first measure. Despite this, the greatest simplifications should still be quickly recognizable. Level of difficulty 4 : Compared to the original, the piano movement has been greatly simplified, but can still be practised by amateurs The edition is also available as a pdf file.

VII:1) is one of the earliest concertante works by Joseph Haydn - and is also a musical curiosity.

In the copy by Johannes Sperger, which must serve as the source today, the double bass is in D major, but the parts are in E flat major. In the meantime, D major has established itself as the key for the double bass part. Accordingly, the key was chosen for the tuning of the double bass used in each case. Dynamic and articulation indications are taken from the first edition by Franz Tischer-Zeitz (B. Schott's Söhne, Mainz 1938), but should only be understood as suggestions.
