How's it going? I'm thinking of taking it up for the second semester

Good luck btw!

@@danicaignjatovic3956 its not to difficult. Way easier than this doctor gradus ad parnassum im performing

I learnt this for one of my grades It’s so much fun to play!!

⁠@@gaiang247 You’re right that technically it’s within the range of a competent intermediate. Henle-Verlag in their useful list of 1-3 Easy, 4-6 Intermediate, 7-9 Advanced, rank it as a 6. Interpretively it is more tricky; few pianists are attuned to Haydn in sturm und drang mode as found in this intense sonata published in 1776; there is not really a Mozart equivalent to this sonata (except possibly the first movement of K310 in a minor)), so you have a musical challenge to pull it off that is greater than the technical challenge.

Thank you for your support and your comment!

I feel the same about Mozart. Some of his most beautiful works are in minor keys.

@@vincentslater6470 Absolutely, i love the adagio of his 23rd piano concerto and his fantaisie in D minor.

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:)

@@glenngulda Minor key open up more possibilities for modulations because of the flatted sixth and seventh. Try improvising in C#m and see the journey you can embark on..

​@@vincentslater6470 music is not about beauty.

And I met Bavouzet a few months ago in my conservatory. He s a very kind person

I use imslp.org for the videos and usually the music is heavily edited, but it is in public domain. You probably have an Urtext.

This score is heavily edited but the editor is correctly instructing the player that the first note is to be played on the beat. Later performance practice would have the first two notes before the beat with an accent on the third note but that isn't correct for Haydn.

@@diffugerenives Ah, so you mean a slower trill? Makes sense, though I always just presumed it had to be played similar to how Bavouzet plays it haha. Learn something every day!

@@jordidewaard2937 It's not slower. It's a fast mordant but with the notes written out. Bouzevet plays it correctly with the first note on the beat. His recordings of the complete Haydn keyboard sonatas are excellent.

Wdym fast its slooooooooooooow

Et Pogorelich !!!

The Minuet lacks substance. The notes have to be played longer. The transition has to be smothered. It is better to compare to Sokolov's perfect timing.
