The Interpretation of Haydn's Keyboard Sonatas

FAIN: FB-13126-77

College of William and Mary (Williamsburg, VA 23186-0002)

To undertake extensive reading on the interpretation of the keyboard works of Joseph Haydn. Haydn composed these works during the transitional period in which the harpsichord evolved into the pianoforte and in which Bach's baroque style gave way to the pre-classicism of his sons and that latter style to the classicism of Mozart and Beethoven.
