SUGGESTED HOST INTRO 

There's humor in classical music, and you don't have to be a professional musician to get the joke. Cellist Lynn Harrell says one of his favorite jokes was written around 1765. 


CLIP TRANSCRIPT 

"The Haydn C Major Cello Concerto has really lovely tongue and cheek kind of music for the instrument in the first movement and the last movement. Because the cello isn’t like the violin. It’s kind of big and stuck in the ground, played upside down, and anything that it can do that is trying to be like a coloratura or a tight rope walker can have very easily a sense of humor about it." 


SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO 

Cellist Lynn Harrell talking about the Haydn Cello Concerto Number 1. In between the first and third movements, this concerto also has a gorgeous second movement. Cellist Lynn Harrell is the soloist and Sir Neville Marriner conducts the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.
