Grigory Sokolov - Haydn Piano Sonata in C-sharp minor, Hob. XVI:36 

it is because you guys like more minor (thats the case for most people)..but the major sonatas reveal his potential in same quality..in fact the best ones are in major (especially his late major ones).. i dont know exactly why, but minor sonatas work much better for people nowadays who are starting their way in understanding classical music. i think the drama in minor sonatas connect with our human suffering (which we all got deeply:)

He still wrote more minor key sonatas than Mozart, and they were a great influence on Beethoven, who was taught by Haydn.

After few attempts Haydn was forbidden to produce more works in minor keys by his employer Nikolaus Prince Esterhazy. In 1790 Esterhazy died and Haydn got a lifetimer reward so he could afford to retire. After that he was free also to write in minor keys.

The same case with Mozart.

Check out Haydn's Symphony No. 39 in G minor. The first movement is marvelous.

I agree. Try Kenji Miura!! It is fantastic

@@FredMaus Thanks. Have listened - he gets a stronger contrast between the angry and lyrical themes.

This is similar to making a slideshow. You will need a video program to do this.

You need to be selective when deciding which Haydn sonatas to listen to. Some mostly early sonatas were written as teaching studies for students, so rather like Mozart K545 or Beethoven Opus 49, they really don’t show the composer at his best (and were never intended for anything other than their original purpose). Others were written in an easy popular style intended for publishers to get good sales; some of these contain some of the most empty, meaningless music Haydn ever wrote in any genre. Then there are the rest which sit with Mozart’s better ones at the pinnacle of keyboard writing in the Classical period (c.1750-1800), sonatas which were written with a real artistic purpose, often for professional pianists of the time, and which remain in the repertoire of every great pianist today. Whilst not an exhaustive list, I would suggest the following sonatas as a starting point (I’ve omitted some sonatas like the e minor Hob. XVI:34 which others may include because though it has a very fine first movement, the second I find vapid, and the third simply a populist rondo). Note: in the Hoboken catalogue, Hob. XVI is the keyboard sonatas, there are then 52 sonatas; Hob. XVII is miscellaneous keyboard works - mostly variations- of which there are 9, along with a number of other items. The alternative Landon list of the sonatas totals 62, but includes spaces for a set of lost sonatas for example, along with a number of early works which one or the other list cannot agree on whether or not Haydn is the author). *Essential Haydn keyboard works:* Early sonatas: B flat major Hob. XVI: 2 G major Hob. XVI:6 E major Hob. XVI:13 D major Hob. XVI:14 1768 A flat Hob. XVI:46* 1771 c minor Hob. XVI:20* 1773 F major Hob. XVI:23 1774-1776 b minor Hob. XVI:32 1776-1779 c# minor Hob. XVI:36 D major Hob. XVI:37** 1780-1784 B flat major Hob. XVI:41 1789-1794 C major Hob. XVI:48 E flat major Hob. XVI:49 C major Hob. XVI:50 D major Hob. XVI:51 E flat major Hob. XVI:52 To this list must be added: 1789 Fantasia in C major Hob. XVII:4 1793 Andante con variazione in f minor Hob. XVII:6 (popularly, but incorrectly known as the Variations in f minor) which is quite simply one of the greatest keyboard works of the Classical period. Hope that’s useful to yourself or anyone else passing by; others may have personal favourites, but my list is a good starter-pack. * The first two truly great modern piano sonatas - by anybody. ** Added to the list as the first movement is very well-known, is great fun to play, and very popular amongst intermediate-level pianists.

‘Napiknuto”? Koji je to jezik?

Takav je Sokolov...

yes a little but a good pianist just the same.

Может он проникся меланхолическим характером музыки, а не уныло исполнил?

@@gigogrom216 вы не путайте меланхолию с занудством. Это не про Гайдна, раз. А во-вторых, до Бетховена импровизация входила в обязанность музыканта. В частности, каденция была обязанностью исполнителя 🤷

@@AndersenMozart Я согласен, что романтические черты Гайдну не свойственны, но они тем не менее проявляются в редких случаях (фа-минорная симфония, ещё пару сонат найти можно по крайней мере с минорными медленными частями). Каденции в этой сонате нет, да и я не вижу, где здесь можно что-то импровизировать

@@gigogrom216 ну, замените на украшения
