Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.3 in F-Dur Hob.XVI:9

Built on the bright and approachable sonority of F major, this sonata is characterized by concise themes and well-balanced phrases. Its contrasting structure moves from a lively movement through a calmer one to a finale suggestive of a dance, creating a natural sense of shape and momentum. In the first movement, the exchanges between themes and the changes of key should be brought out clearly, while the central movement invites careful attention to the breathing of the melody and the changing harmonies. In the finale, a light sense of pulse should be maintained while keeping the individual voices clear. Allowing ornaments and rests to settle naturally, and sustaining the musical line through the ends of phrases, brings out the beauty of its simple writing.
