The piano sonatas of Haydn; Fourth program, part two

Or. A.

That was the Haydn Sonata in a flat in the

next. So not in G minor number 32 in two movements. We have a similar format as the previous Sonata number 20 in B flat. I might add that because of the extreme difficulty in putting this sonata is in exact chronological order it is quite probable that the B-flat Sonata and the G minor were written close together. In discussing this with Krista Landon she felt that it is most probable that the B-flat Sonata was written after the last Sonata has and then rediscovered autograph of number 28. Because of the thematic listing of the last Sonata his is number 21 through 27 will actually jump from Sonata number 20 to the fragment of 28 and then Sonata number 29. Since the printing of the thematic listing of the Urtext edition a reconsideration would put Sonata number 20 after the fragment of number 28. Which brings it very close to the G minor Sonata.

They have a similar mood of flowing lyrics with colorful ornamentation and have more homogeny A-T of movement and a less dramatic style. The second movement show and a long dated minuet theme which is treated with variations here then is the G minor Sonata number 32. First Movement modern at home then the Ella grotto second movement. A.

That was the Sonata in G minor in two movements. Most of what has

previously been said about the D major Sonata number 30 and the A-flat Sonata number 31 would apply to the magnificent Sonata in C minor. The only sonata that Haydn wrote in this key the intensity of emotional and dramatic feeling are coupled with brilliant pianistic writing. However there is one major difference and that is in his treatment of the last movement whereas in the previous Sonata as Haydn was content to dismiss his listeners with a finale that was gay and carefree. The finale of the C minor Sonata becomes the climax of the entire work and is imbued with dramatic tension. It is perhaps the most powerful movement dramatically speaking of all the sonatas. As I mentioned previously as far as the keyboard works are concerned this sonata marked the supreme achievement and climax of the storm and stress period. This is not how I was one

of the 6 and not as dedicated to the Alan Berger sisters Catherine and Marianne who were outstanding keyboard artists of the day. Haydn was impressed by their me. Talents and wrote his publisher are tarea their style of playing and genuine insight into music equaled that of the greatest masters. The three movements modern rock and Allegro. Or.

Oh.

That was Haydn's great.
