Joseph Haydn
Violin Sonata G major Hob. XV:32
It is not known exactly how many violin sonatas Joseph Haydn composed, since the authorship of several works attributed to him is uncertain. There is even some evidence that the present G major Sonata Hob. XV:32 may be Haydn’s only original work in this genre. The striking correspondence of its opening with the theme of the second movement from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Sonata in G major K. 301, which is likewise a two-movement violin sonata, could be regarded as a conscious quotation.
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.
