🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.51 in Es-Dur Hob.XVI:38 Op.30-4

This sonata is marked by clear exchanges of thematic material and a vivid dialogue between phrases. In three movements, it presents the development and recapitulation of the main theme in the first movement with a lucid sense of structure, while subtle dynamic changes keep the music in motion. The slow movement draws attention to the length of its melodic lines and the treatment of ornamentation, while the finale is appealing for its lively momentum and agile exchanges. A successful performance balances the individual voices and keeps the tone even, while preserving the direction of each phrase and a natural sense of breathing.
