Haydn, Joseph - Complete Piano Sonatas Volume I

Over 50 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 I contains Haydn?s early sonatas, very much still born of the spirit of the early Classical period: catchy music, fun to play, often at a moderate level of difficulty, without which modern piano instruction would be nearly unthinkable. Time and again, the authenticity of individual sonatas from this grouphas been questioned ? the preface by Armin Raab, the Scholarly Director of the Joseph Haydn Institute, now provides comprehensive information on new findings regarding this important topic area.
