Description

The Haydn sonata featured in this Henle Urtext edition was previously unavailable as an individual publication. However, it is considered one of Haydn's renowned piano works. Composed in 1789, it belongs to the composer's "late sonatas" and was written for the Leipzig publisher Christoph Gottlob Breitkopf. The two-movement structure showcases the full breadth of Haydn's musical language - from the brooding, improvisational first movement to the sparkling, humorous finale. Haydn masterfully exploits the keyboard's tonal range and capabilities throughout the piece. World-renowned pianist Piotr Anderszewski has contributed his fingerings to this Henle edition, inviting musicians to explore this exceptional work.
