Hamburger Concerto is the fourth studio album by the Dutch progressive rock band Focus, released in May 1974.[3] It peaked at No. 20 on the UK charts.[4] The title track is based on Variations on a Theme by Haydn by Johannes Brahms. The composition also incorporates the first two verses of the Dutch Christmas carol O Kerstnacht, schoner dan de dagen at around 15 minutes, and the Third Quarter chime from the Westminster Quarters is quoted in the track's final seconds. The first track is based on a Gaillarde of Joachim van den Hove of his work Delitae Musicae.
