Interest in the authentic performance of early music has grown
dramatically in recent years, and scholarly investigation has
particularly benefited the study of keyboard music of the classical
period. In this landmark publication, the most comprehensive study
written on Haydn's keyboard sonatas, a leading Haydn scholar
presents novel ideas, corrects misconceptions, and offers new
hypotheses on long-debated issues of early music research.
Laszlo Somfai begins with a thorough study of Haydn's keyboard
instruments and their development. After recommending instruments
appropriate for modern use, he discusses performance practice and
style, explains the peculiarities of Haydn's manuscripts in the
context of eighteenth-century notation, and provides specific
suggestions for playing ornaments, improvising, slurring, and
dynamics. He also investigates Haydn's sonata genres within their
historical context and discusses the problems of establishing a
chronology of their composition. Finally, Somfai analyzes the
organization and style of each musical form. The book includes an
index listing the sonatas by date of first publication, and an
extensive bibliography.
