Abstract
<span>Haydn wrote his Cello Concerto No. 2 in D Major while serving the Hungarian Esterházy family. He claimed that his position of Kapellmeister at the Esterházys’ palace led him to become original in his composing. He wrote this piece for a specific cellist in the Esterházys’ orchestra, and sought to display that soloist’s great skill. This paper examines each of the concerto’s three movements with a focus on discovering </span>originality and virtuosity<span> in Haydn’s writing. It also explores the concerto’s intriguing history and its prominent place in symphonic repertoire today.</span>
