Exquisitely expressive, especially, the Adagio. To me, the Adagio is the anchor of this Sonata, with the first and third movements a necessary, beautiful and an intricately engraved framing thereof. My respect for Glenn Gould has increased tenfold upon hearing his wonderful working of this Sonata. Gould exhibits great finesse and freedom in his performance. The creative genius of Haydn blossoms to its gorgeous fullness under Gould's nimble and facile fingers!! Gould shows great respect for and understanding of Haydn's sense of humor which is both deep, musical and artful. Fine musicianship displayed by composer and performer. Terrific display of Haydn's virtuosity. Thank you, dear sirs, for a two-way laughfest. . . evoking the joy and pathos which jumps off the manuscript of this remarkable composition. Bravo!! Bravo!!

I know the E-flat sonata is the most well-revered probably, but I've always been drawn to this one of all Haydn's sonatas. It's got this odd perky charm that I just can't resist.

Mozart, are you jealous of Haydn?

@@gabrieldweik6842 Haydn respected Mozart because he knew by being a music teacher how good he was and not just a piano player like some other people think about him at that time. They were good friends and both of them played chamber music together.

My favorite opening to a classical sonata hands down

I forgot that intro when choosing this to try to fall asleep to, that was a fail lol

I love this sonata in many ways, but especially the adventurous key tangents and variations Haydn goes on. There are a lot of surprises in movement 1, and movement 3 is a textbook "witty Haydn" example.

@Curocko Жыл бұрын

@@stapler942 I agree about surprises in the first movement. Even in the exposition. It's one of the most consistently interesting (as in, moment to moment) sonatas in the classical period to me. Like the development opens up so rapidly and wastes no time going places. Also especially the f major sections at start of development are so beautiful and an oasis of tonal relief >

This lovely, simple C major Haydn-Sonata definitely lent itself to various interpretations. Glenn Gould transformed it into an absolutely charming lively piece of music. Thank you!

Einzigartige doch wunderschöne Interpretation dieser fein komponierten Sonate im lebhaften Tempo mit kräfteigem doch warmherzigem Klang des technisch perfekten Klaviers und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt bezaubernd. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch begeisternd. Das ist auch Haydn!

So much better than the way he tortures Bach. You can hear Haydn. But he still does grotesque things in the middle movement.

@christophedevos3760 Жыл бұрын

I haven't seen a pianist dismissing so much dynamic marks in a long time. (probably he wasn' playing from 'Urtext' as well) 😏 But on the other hand, it sounds swell, sometimes a bit too much staccato.

But generally we need more performances of Haydn sonatas.

Too much staccato and "mechanical". Sorry. I Really like Gould, but not on this one.

@marichristian1072 2 жыл бұрын

Look at the score. Gould is doing exactly what Haydn envisaged for this piece- in the first movement for example, not just staccato but staccato with a vengeance.

@@simoneliloni6117 Agreed. The expression marks are everywhere and original but GG chooses to rattle everything of from first to last note. Played in this way Haydn sounds like a second rate composer which he surely wasn't. I never understood the whole GG cult.

@@marichristian1072 I like how it pays homage to how a fortepiano sounded back then. Dryer timbre, fast decay. Then again I have rarely encountered a Steinway, maybe they are particularly adept for emulating that style.
