Haydn -- Piano Sonata in E-flat Major, Hob XVI/52 - 1. Allegro

Sara Davis Buechner performs the Allegro from Haydn's last Piano Sonata, No. 52 in E-flat Major (Hob XVI/52), written in 1794. Dedicated to celebrated piano virtuoso Therese Jansen, this sonata modulates to remote keys. The second theme makes a radical traversal to E major, just a half-step away. See Sara's related discussion of this work in "Sara Davis Buechner on Music."

This is both a very sensitive and virtuosic performance of the first movement. Love the crispness of execution in the decsending thirds and abundant thirty-second note flourishes. Everything clear and in proportion. Thank you for sharing!

Brava!Brava!Brava! questa difficile sonata contiene la "summa"della forma -sonata haydniana. E Lei, Maestro, ce ne rende perfettamente l 'idea. Bel suono, prodotto in modo energico ma equilibrato quanto il fraseggio che respira in armonia col suono prodotto.
