🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.44 in F-Dur Hob.XVI:29 Op.14-3

This three-movement sonata is marked by concise exchanges of phrases and clear rhythmic definition. In the first movement, enjoy the dialogue between the voices and the changing development while keeping the outline of the themes distinct. The second movement calls for a calm, unhurried singing quality. In the finale, bring out the character of a minuet through a light dance feel and finely balanced meter. In performance, avoid making the two hands too equal in volume, and allow the melody to emerge clearly. Ornamentation should be integrated naturally without interrupting the flow, while restrained use of the pedal preserves Haydn’s transparent sound and heightens the contrast between the movements.
