G. Henle Verlag Variations f minor (Sonata) Hob. XVII:6 - Haydn /Gerlach /Schornsheim - Piano - Book
Additional Photos:
Composer: Joseph Haydn
Editor: Sonja Gerlach
Fingering: Christine Schornsheim
Format: Softcover
Instrumentation: Piano
Haydn's last piano work is also considered to be his most famous single work for this instrument. The minor theme is filled with emotional depth: "a melancholy andante in f minor, with variations, as only a genius can do them, that almost sounds like a free fantasia" (thus described in a review of the time). The form is also demanding: not merely one theme but two - one in a major key, the other in a minor one - are varied in turn. The autograph gives one to believe that the work was originally intended to be the first movement of a sonata. This single edition has been taken from the recently revised volume of "Piano pieces" (HN 224) and furnished with a detailed commentary.
