Haydn Sonata HobXVI:50 in C
on: November 09, 2010, 02:48:29 PM
Hello everyone,
I've been asked to choose a Haydn Sonata, and I've chosen number 50 in C major.
The question is, is it appropiate for my current level? I'm currently playing Bach Prelude and Fugue in C# Major (number 3, WTC1), Brahms Rhapsody op.79 no.1, some Rachmaninoff etudes-tableaux, Debussy Danse (Tarantelle Styrienne), Rachmaninoff Prelude op.3 no.2 and some more...
Here in Pianostreet it says it has got difficulty of 8, one of the most difficult Haydn sonatas, is this true?
Thank you all!
Michael

It's true, this sonata, along with the one in Es dur, are one of the most difficult Haydn sonatas

Difficulty is, in my opinion, always relative and cannot be cataloged with a number from 0 to ten.
Aside this, I think that it's difficult. It's one of the English sonatas, written around 1794 directly for the pianoforte and probably influenced by Clementi's and Dussek's new keyboard technique.
If you like it, go ahead and give it a try

Hmm...
I just started this piece too, and I just finished Chopin's Scherzo no. 2
I guess, in technical terms, it's not very hard, no crazy arpeggios or anything like that
But I think the hard part about it is getting the articulation and all that correct but at the same time showing all the voices and keeping the line going the whole time

Personally Haydn for me, can be played in a wide range of levels, but to play it in a high standard is a different story.
