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.
