🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.5 in G-Dur Hob.XVI:11

One of Haydn’s keyboard sonatas, this work is appealing for its concise and transparent writing. The exchanges between themes and phrases are clear, and the music moves naturally forward as short motifs are developed. The piece consists of several contrasting sections, with the contrast between lively motion and more composed passages providing a central point of interest. In performance, it is important to clarify the roles of the two hands and carefully shape the cadences and breathing points of each phrase. Ornamentation should be played with a natural sense of pulse that does not interrupt the flow, while smaller figures should not sound overly rigid or mechanically even; a conversational approach brings out the transparent character of the Classical style.
