Urtext edition for piano.
Difficulty: advanced.
When Christa
Landon presented the first printed version of her edition of Joseph
Haydn's piano sonatas, Haydn's sonata oeuvre was still overshadowed by
the works of Mozart and Beethoven. Since then, Haydn's sonatas have
progressed from the teaching rooms to the concert halls and Landon's
edition has played a crucial role in that process. The Haydn anniversary
in 2009 is a welcome occasion to thoroughly revise this edition for,
over the course of more than forty years, new sources have come to light
and questions of authenticity have been resolved, not least because the
editorial principles for 18th-century music have changed considerably.
The
new edition comprises all works of the previous Wiener Urtext edition
plus the sonata Hob. XVI:16 edited by Landon, along with the Sonata in F
major which was rediscovered in Bozen a few years ago and attributed to
Joseph Haydn. The new edition is published in four volumes, the content
of each volume being compatible with the volumes of the previous
edition. Volumes 1 and 2 contain the early sonatas. In the Notes on
Interpretation, Robert D. Levin explains important aspects of Haydn's
performance practice.
