Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.37 in E-Dur Hob.XVI:22 Op.13-2

This three-movement sonata is distinguished by the bright, well-balanced sonority of E major and its appealing melodic character. The first movement unfolds around the presentation and development of clear themes, with phrases passed between the hands in a conversational manner. The second movement slows the pace, allowing its singing expression and delicate ornamentation to be savored. The finale brings the work to a close with lively momentum. In performance, it is important to listen carefully to the parts in both hands and maintain clear articulation and natural dynamic shaping. Ornaments should not interrupt the flow; when the direction and shape of each phrase are carefully observed, the work’s subtle richness within its simplicity comes to the fore.
