Piano Sonata

Who is not familiar with Haydn’s C major Sonata, with its fanfare-like, staccato triadic opening? Lesser-known, but at least equally charming, are the cantabile central movement and playful finale. This sonata should not be omitted from advanced piano instruction, which is why Henle is offering it not only as part of the three-volume revised collected edition of all of Haydn’s piano sonatas, but also in this single practical edition. The new accompanying texts by Silke Schloen come from the Research Centre at the Haydn Institute, while the fingering, by Dénes Várjon, will inspire both beginners and proficient players alike. An invitation to all to rediscover this classic!
