Description

55 renowned pianists each contributed their own fingerings for a Haydn piano sonata, creating a "who's who" of the contemporary piano world. G. Henle Publishers now presents these revised and refreshed Haydn sonatas, confident they will solidify the composer's place in the musical canon.

Volume I features Haydn's early sonatas, quintessential works of the early Classical era - catchy, enjoyable to play, and often at an accessible level, making them essential to modern piano pedagogy. The authenticity of these sonatas has been repeatedly questioned, but a preface by Armin Raab, Scholarly Director of the Joseph Haydn Institute, provides comprehensive new insights on this important topic.
