Haydn The Complete Piano Sonatas Vol 1

It is possible to follow the very rapid development of Viennese keyboard music after the year 1750 in these works a nd in their musical language, as well as one can easily reconstruct the progressive replacement of the harpsichord and the clavichord by the piano. Piano sonatas are particularly characteristic witness to these changes.

When Christa Landon first published his edition of Haydn's piano sonatas in 1966, Haydn's sonatas were still completely in the shadow of those of Mozart and Beethoven. However, Haydn's sonatas emerged long ago emerged from the mastery of piano lessons and re-entered the concert halls, development for which the Landon edition contributed considerably.

Haydn's birthday in 2009 was a great occasion for a careful review of the Landon edition, as a number of new sources have emerged over the last forty years. In addition, there were questions of authenticity that needed to be reconsidered, and last, but not least, the principles for eighteenth-century music editing underwent some major changes.
