HAYDN CONCERTO IN D MAJOR, OP. 101, 2ND AND 3RD MOV (Zhdanov)

This concerto was composed for Antonin Kraft, a cellist of Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy orchestra. Although the composition sounds relaxed and lyrical, it's quite demanding for the orchestra, and for this motivation, it was put in doubt that Haydn was the real composer; but then in 1951, an autographed score was discovered in 1951, making the experts believe that the composition is indeed authentic.
