In this paper we aim to provide a detailed analysis of the 2nd movement of Cello Concerto in C major, Hob.VIIb:1 composed by Joseph Haydn. It includes biographical information for Haydn and other cultural and historical background related to the piece. Even if we banish from our minds once and for all the dated cliché ‘Papa Haydn', we can still not help Joseph Haydn as a father-figure in the history of music. His musical contributions in establishment of genre and form have earned him the titles “Father of the Symphony" and “Father of the String Quartet". He also adopted the principles and styles of symphonies in his piano writing, particular in his development of the form of piano sonatas. His important achievement rested in having raised musical ways of thinking to a new level and, like a good father, having passed on this newly acquired material to his ‘children' and ‘grandchildren', above all to Mozart and Beethoven.
