Haydn’s piano sonatas are indispensable in the moderately difficult piano repertoire – not just because of their sheer playability, but also because of their humour and inventiveness. Besides several easy individual movements, our volume also includes two complete sonatas so that the performer can experience the broader dramatic trajectory of a multi-movement work.
