🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.49 in cis-moll Hob.XVI:36 Op.30-2

This sonata is notable for its conversational writing based on concise motifs and its shifting expressive character. The first movement develops its themes while maintaining a sense of tension, with the finely balanced exchanges between phrases providing a particular point of interest. In the following Scherzando, listen for the contrast between its lively motion and sharp accents. The final Minuet calls for a poised dance character, while inviting attention to the movement of the inner voices. In performance, clarify the parts between the hands, shape rests and ornaments carefully, and maintain forward momentum without allowing the music to become too heavy, while bringing out its changes of expression.
