Oratorio. Composed by Franz Joseph Haydn. Stapled. Orchester-Bibliothek (Orchestral Library).

In the late 18th century, Joseph Haydn composed a choral work - The Creation - which set the standard for the sacred oratorio genre that stood long after the Viennese classical era and far beyond the boundaries of the German linguistic spher. Oratorio/passion; Classical. Part. 32 pages. Duration 120'. Breitkopf and Haertel #OB 4381-15. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.OB-4381-15).

ISBN 9790004306802. 10 x 12.5 inches.

Following sensationally acclaimed premiere performances in Vienna, The Creation was published in several languages and by various publishing houses, including Breitkopf & Hartel in Leipzig. We now know that a continuo instrument was used for Haydn's oratorio as premiered in Vienna. The supplementary continuo part enables an historically accurate reproduction for the first time: the harpsichord (and, increasingly, the pianoforte) fulfilled the important continuo function in the orchestras of the time.
