Does anyone know where I can find resources on the performance of ornaments in Haydn sonatas? I hear many different takes on how these should be played, and want to try to find out what is the closest to authenticity.
Thanks,

I think Haydn is even more important composer than Mozart.. here's why.. Mozart was very good at excelling in the forms that were popular at the time.. But Haydn came up with the original idea that gave birth to beethoven.. I'm not sure Beethoven would have been the composer he was if it was not for Haydn, whereas Mozart could have existed or not, but it wouldn't have affected Beethoven.
If Beethoven is the greatest composer of classical music, then is Haydn just as great for giving birth to him?
Haydn experimentation in his piano works, and only a few of the later ones really have it, are the seed of Beethoven. The 2 e-flat sonatas and the C-major English are works of the highest genius, and led the way to Beethoven who led the way to the Romantics. It's like Haydn cracked the ice, and Beethoven shattered it. |
