rachmaninoff22 Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Hi all, here is my question. What is the most passionate, beautiful, and expressive Haydn sonata. Of course, this is your opinion. I'm really leaning toward the lesser-known works of Haydn. Some words to think of: passionate, beautiful, expressive, emotional, powerful, utter sadness, sorrowful, etc. You get the point. These terms can apply to anything. For example, sorrowful and sadness don't always apply to a slow-minor movement (though it usually does). Let's see what the results are!! Quote
MaestroMarvel Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I have two pieces I played for State Contest last year and went to National with. Adagio- (not the most specific title) It starts in E major, goes to e minor, and back to E major. Andante Grazioso- his equivalent to Schubert's Impromptu "Rosamunde" Are you trying out for a competition with him? Why Haydn? Quote

It would probably benefit him if you gave him specific Hoboken numbers... Quote
