🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.17 in Es-Dur Hob.XVI:Es2

Haydn’s Sonata No. 17 is shaped by clear phrases and balanced proportions, enlivened by light-footed motion and subtle changes of expression. Across its several movements, lively passages contrast with more tranquil ones, while the exchange and repetition of themes invite attentive listening. In performance, the voices should be carefully balanced so that the melody emerges naturally, with note values observed precisely and articulation kept clear through the use of ornaments and rests. Rather than relying only on volume, shape the dynamics according to the direction and breathing of each phrase to convey the poise and vitality of the Classical style.
