🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Keyboard Concerto in G-Dur Hob.XVIII:9

Among Haydn’s keyboard concertos, this work is distinguished by the clear dialogue between the solo keyboard instrument and the ensemble. It follows a fast–slow–fast, three-movement structure: the first movement highlights the exchange of themes and forward momentum, the second calls for unhurried, singing phrasing, and the third offers lively repetition and rhythmic vitality. In performance, clear Classical articulation, restrained ornamentation, and natural dynamics from phrase to phrase are essential. A light touch that allows the harpsichord’s character to speak, while maintaining balance with the ensemble, is especially important.
