🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.40 in Es-Dur Hob.XVI:25 Op.13-5

Haydn’s Sonata No. 40 combines concise, well-balanced writing with a conversational exchange of melodies and a lively sense of wit. The first movement is in sonata form, built on clear themes, with contrasting passages in the development providing a key point of interest. The second-movement Minuet stands out for its poised sense of meter and graceful lyricism, while the third movement brings the work to a close with light, energetic motion. Keep the tone even and give careful attention to the spacing within phrases, including the rests. Avoid exaggerating the dynamics, and maintain natural momentum while listening closely to the individual voices in both hands.
