Summary of This Book
This Volume I gathers the early piano sonatas of Joseph Haydn, a period during which the Classical style naturally and elegantly takes shape. It features clear writing, readable forms, and an immediately rewarding musical discourse, making these pieces as enjoyable to work on as to listen to. These sonatas form an essential foundation for building technique and style: articulation, voice balance, phrasing sense, ornamentation management, and pulse control.
The originality of this edition also lies in the presence of personal fingerings offered by more than 50 recognized international pianists. Each artist "sponsors" a sonata, thus providing fingering solutions drawn from stage experience and contemporary pianistic tradition. This offers a true panorama of interpretative choices, useful both for refining playing comfort and for opening new avenues of phrasing and sonority.
Finally, the edition addresses a frequently discussed point in this corpus: the authenticity of certain sonatas in this group. Armin Raab's preface offers a thorough synthesis of the latest research and knowledge to clearly situate these works in their context. An essential resource to enrich stylistic culture and bring Haydn's sonatas to life in current and future musical practice.
