Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.2 in C-Dur Hob.XVI:7

This early sonata is characterized by the bright, poised nature of C major. The first movement unfolds with concise and well-balanced ideas, with the clear exchange of phrases and changes of key providing particular points of interest. The following slow movement invites the performer to savor its calm lyricism and subtle harmonic shifts. The final minuet is distinguished by its light dance rhythm and elegant dialogue. Throughout the work, an even and articulate touch, natural phrasing, and restrained treatment of ornamentation and dynamics bring out its transparent character.
