Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) significantly expanded and enhanced various musical forms in which he worked, including symphonies, quartets, sonatas, masses, and oratorios, characterized by exceptional expressiveness, innovative perspectives, and exquisite musicianship. His "Nelson" Mass and Mass in Time of War stand out as two of his most remarkable compositions, ostensibly linked to themes of war, yet deeply imbued with a spirit of devotion and exemplary in their sophisticated integration of vocal and instrumental elements.
Haydn's piano sonatas are essential works in the moderately challenging piano repertoire. This is not just because of their technical accessibility, but also their wit and creativity. In addition to several individual movements of relative ease, this collection includes two complete sonatas, allowing performers to explore the full dramatic arc of multi-movement compositions. We have also included delightful piano arrangements that Haydn made of his own works, such as the slow movement from his String Quartet Op. 76, No. 3, whose theme is now widely recognized as the German national anthem.

Joseph Haydn's concertos for solo instruments and ensemble were generally written for specific musicians during his lifetime. His Violoncello Concerto in D major, Hob.VII:2, was composed for Anton Kraft, the principal cellist of the Esterházy ensemble who later became one of Vienna's greatest virtuosos. This concerto, composed for a particular occasion, has since become a celebrated masterpiece. An autograph score by Haydn himself, dating from 1783, has survived. For this new edition featuring piano accompaniment, the expertise of Haydn specialist Sonja Gerlach has been enlisted. Gerlach's detailed preface examines the execution of the ornaments and cadenzas, enriching the Urtext edition.
