The three early sonatas featured on this recording were almost certainly intended for his students: short, light pieces with few technical demands. The two larger sonatas, both in the key of E flat major, were written some twenty years later and are far more extensive. Both require significantly greater prowess from the performer, and represent Haydn\\x92s ingenuity and skill to the full. The two additional works included here, whilst single-movement compositions, are substantial pieces. The Adagio ma non troppo would become the slow movement of Piano Trio No. 36, whilst the Variations on \\x91Gott erhalte\\x92 is based on the second movement of the \\x91Emperor\\x92 Quartet (Op. 76 No. 3), which is itself a set of variations on an anthem composed by Haydn at the request of an Austrian politician for the 29th birthday of the Emperor, and intended as a patriotic hymn comparable to \\x91God Save the King\\x92 in England \\x96 and a response against the Marseillaise.Sonata No. 5 in G major (Divertimento)\u003cbr\u003eSonata No. 51 in E-Flat major\u003cbr\u003eAdagio ma non troppo in G major (Original Version Of The Slow Movement Of Piano Trio No. 36)\u003cbr\u003eSonata No. 6 in C major (Divertimento)\u003cbr\u003eSonata No. 7 in D major (Variazioni)\u003cbr\u003eVariations On 'Gott Erhalte' in G major\u003cbr\u003eSonata No. 59 in E-Flat major","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55134705910145,"sku":"1032707","price":18.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41wY_-qhT3L._SL1500.jpg?v=1767155789","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1032707","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
