🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Keyboard Concerto in D-Dur Hob.XVIII:2

This concerto by Haydn is shaped around the dialogue between the solo keyboard and the ensemble, offering a clear sense of structure and lively forward motion. In its 3-movement design, the opening movement presents and develops its themes with poise, while the central movement invites close attention to the breath of the melody and changes in harmony. The lively finale brings out crisp rhythms and the interest of musical exchanges. In performance, ornaments should be incorporated naturally into the musical flow, and small figures should be kept clear and even without being rushed. Rather than projecting the solo part too forcefully, performers should consider the balance with the ensemble and the handoffs between them, allowing the poise and vitality of the Classical style to emerge.
