Franz Joseph Haydn ： Keyboard Concerto in F-Dur Hob.XVIII:7

This keyboard concerto makes the most of the bright, refined sonority of F major and displays the elegance of the Classical style. It is structured in three movements—fast, slow, and fast. In the outer movements, clear themes and light rhythms unfold through exchanges between the solo keyboard and ensemble. In the central slow movement, singing melodies and gentle dialogue form the expressive core. In performance, it is important to avoid making the figures sound heavy and to preserve transparency through crisp articulation. While keeping the solo part in the foreground, adjust the dynamics with the ensemble in mind, and shape cadences and ornaments naturally to reveal the lively charm within the work’s refinement.
