Summary of This Score
This score highlights an ambitious editorial project: gathering Joseph Haydn's piano sonatas in a revised edition while anchoring them in today's pianistic practice. The key idea of the volume is to entrust great international pianists with the task of providing their own fingerings, each "sponsoring" a sonata. The result is an approach that is both pedagogical and artistic, allowing comparison of fingering choices, refinement of technique, and enrichment of musical reading throughout the pages.
Volume II contains 18 sonatas, grouped into three series of six, each more remarkable than the last. It showcases what makes Haydn unique: brilliant thematic imagination, a sense of harmonic surprise, and writing that demands as much precision as elegance. These works are essential for understanding the construction of the Classical style and the logic of sonata form, while developing mastery of phrasing, transparency of textures, and subtlety of contrasts at the piano.
Whether you are a discerning amateur, a conservatory student, or an advanced pianist, this collection stands as a lasting work companion. It ensures Haydn's sonatas maintain a living place in daily practice by combining the authority of a major publishing house with the practical experience of leading pianists.
