🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.35 in As-Dur Hob.XVI:43 Op.41-4

Haydn’s Sonata No. 35 is shaped by poised phrases and clear dialogue between the voices, combining light-footed motion with a calm lyrical quality. Across the movements, points of interest include the presentation and development of themes, changes in metric character, and contrasts of register and dynamics; the wit arising from concise musical ideas also deserves attention. In performance, it is important to clarify the roles of the two hands, allow the melody to emerge naturally, and articulate ornaments clearly within the musical flow. Rather than rushing through the smaller figures, allowing a measured space at rests and phrase endings helps convey the balance and conversational elegance of the Classical style.
