Joseph Haydn
Piano Sonata e minor Hob. XVI:34
Only a few of Haydn’s piano sonatas are in the minor mode, and they are all sombre and defiant in tone. This famous sonata in e minor opens with an impatient and insistent motif in what is surely one of the Viennese master’s most passionate sonata movements. The middle movement in G major, by contrast, transports us into a different world that is flooded with light. The finale sets off in restless manner, and its alternation of major and minor provides a cheerfully ironic close to the work. You can rediscover this pearl among Haydn’s sonatas here, with fingerings by Murray Perahia that combine ergonomics with the utmost sensitivity to the music. The musical text of this practical Henle Urtext edition has been brought in line with the latest research as part of a revision of all of Haydn’s piano sonatas.
About the Composer
Joseph Haydn
His immense oeuvre documents the profound changes in music history during the second half of the eighteenth century, leading to the emancipation of instrumental music. His most important genres are the symphony and the string quartet, where he cultivated the technique of motivic-thematic development; he made significant contributions to the instrumental concerto and to piano music; during the last years of his life, he composed his great oratorios. Opera and art song take on a rather subordinate significance.
