Joseph Haydn

Piano Pieces

Of the 14 pieces in this edition, six are available here for the first time in the Urtext. The repertoire of suitable teaching literature has thus been considerably expanded. In accordance with the aims of the Wiener Urtext Edition, the preface provides new aspects of Haydn's source evaluation in addition to general notes; in the Critical Notes, the compositionally and interpretationally interesting details of Haydn's extremely complicated source situation are made clearly recognizable for the reader who does not have the sources in front of him, and a fundamental examination of the problem of Haydn interpretation has been attempted using the example of the present pieces.
