Summary of This Score
This revised edition gathers a particularly comprehensive set of pieces for solo piano by Joseph Haydn, covering several emblematic forms of his keyboard writing. You will find inventive pages such as the Capriccio in G major "Acht Sauschneider müssen seyn" (Hob. XVII:1), a Fantasia (Capriccio) in C major (Hob. XVII:4), as well as a panorama of variations (Hob. XVII:2, XVII:3, XVII:5) and a Sonata in F (Variations) in F minor (Hob. XVII:6), valuable for working on clarity of discourse, classical articulation, and voice leading.
The volume also offers a series of easy and pleasant short pieces (Artaria op. 46), mixing an original piece (Hob. XVII:9) and several piano transcriptions. These often concise pieces are perfect for developing the Haydn style: sense of phrasing, rhythmic elegance, dynamic contrasts, and precision of ornaments. Several excerpts and adaptations refer to orchestral or stage works, notably around "La vera costanza," providing the pianist with a musical gateway into Haydn's theatrical universe.
Finally, the edition includes an appendix dedicated to works of doubtful authenticity, as well as supplements (additional variations) related to the first edition and pieces such as the Variations in D (Hob. XVII:7). An ideal choice for pianists seeking a rich classical score, balancing study, playing pleasure, and exploration of the Hoboken catalogue.
