Description:
Haydn's C minor Piano Sonata (Hob. XVI:20) has been called, by the leading Haydn scholar Laszlo Somfai, the most significant piano piece between Bach's death and Mozart's mature Viennese sonatas. Indeed, with its deep expressiveness and its novel and more intensive handling of dynamics, this sonata marks a breakthrough in Haydn's fortepiano style.
