🇩🇪Franz Joseph Haydn ： Sonata No.61 in D-Dur Hob.XVI:51 Op.93

Haydn’s Sonata No. 61 is structured in two movements, embodying Classical balance and wit within a concise musical style. In the first movement, the exchanges between melodic lines and changes in harmony should be brought out carefully within its calm flow. The finale places greater emphasis on a sense of tempo and lively rhythm, while clear phrasing creates forward momentum. Keep the ornaments from interrupting the musical flow, and organize the left- and right-hand parts so that the texture remains dimensional. Rather than making the dynamic contrasts too broad, be attentive to the breathing points between phrases; this brings out the humor and vitality underlying the work’s poise.
