DESCRIPTION:
-THE REVISION OF THE THREE-VOLUME EDITION OF HAYDN`S PIANO SONATAS ALSO APPEARS IN A VERSION WITHOUT FINGERINGS. WHOEVER WISHES TO STUDY THE CLASSICAL SONATA CANON IN “PURE” URTEXT, FREE FROM ADDED FINGERING SUGGESTIONS, WILL NOW ALSO FIND THESE IN THE HENLE CATALOGUE. VOLUME I CONTAINS HAYDN`S EARLY SONATAS, VERY MUCH STILL BORN OF THE SPIRIT OF THE EARLY CLASSICAL PERIOD: CATCHY MUSIC, FUN TO PLAY, OFTEN AT A MODERATE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY, WITHOUT WHICH MODERN PIANO INSTRUCTION WOULD BE NEARLY UNTHINKABLE. TIME AND AGAIN, THE AUTHENTICITY OF INDIVIDUAL SONATAS FROM THIS GROUP HAS BEEN QUESTIONED - THE PREFACE BY ARMIN RAAB, THE SCHOLARLY DIRECTOR OF THE JOSEPH HAYDN INSTITUTE, NOW PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE INFORMATION ON NEW FINDINGS REGARDING THIS IMPORTANT TOPIC AREA.
