🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Piano Sonata in C-Dur Hob.XVI:15

This three-movement work belongs to Haydn’s early keyboard sonatas. The clear presentation and development of the first movement, the singing melody of the second, and the lively motion of the finale create a telling contrast. Its appeal lies in the dialogue and balance that emerge from concise musical ideas. The right-hand melody should be allowed to sing naturally, while the left-hand accompaniment remains light and unforced, with phrase divisions carefully shaped. Ornaments should be played lightly without disturbing the flow; bringing out changes in dynamics and the rests helps reveal the work’s poised and lively character.
