Piano Sonata h-moll Hob. XVI:32, Joseph Haydn. Piano solo

JOSEPH HAYDN
Piano Sonata b minor Hob. XVI:32

Georg Feder (Editor)
Silke Schloen (Preface, Critical Report)

The b-minor Sonata is part of a group of six piano sonatas which, according to Haydns own handwritten catalogue of works, was composed in 1776. The autograph has not survived, and the first edition of 1778 was not authorised. However, numerous copyists manuscripts have survived in which Haydn had his six sonatas disseminated. The separate Urtext edition from the volumes containing Haydns complete piano sonatas presents this transmission, which is quite typical for the composer, in a way that is optimally comprehensible for every Haydn enthusiast. The musical text, edited according to all the rules of the art on the basis of the Haydn Complete Edition, is supplemented by ergonomic fingerings by Stephen Hough and thus offers the ideal conditions to discover this treasure among Haydns sonatas.
