(include Piano LTCL from Jan 2022 #123 Piece)
55 internationally celebrated pianists were invited to adopt one Haydn piano sonata each and provide it with their personal fingerings – a “who’s who” on the contemporary piano scene. G. Henle Publishers now presents this classic, revised and with a new look, to all pianists in the certainty that Haydn’s sonatas will further cement their place in the world of music. Volume III offers the crowning achievement of Haydn’s sonata-writing with these late works, including famous works such as the stormy Sonata in e minor Hob. XVI:34 and the “grand” Sonata in E-flat major Hob. XVI:52. Superbly laid-out settings for the piano are combined here with great musical expressivity, which is why these sonatas remain firmly anchored in concert life to this day.
