Haydn - Sonata in E-flat major, Hob. XVI:49 (PDF Sheet Music / Digital Download)

One of the most beloved and structurally perfect of Haydn's later sonatas, the Piano Sonata in E-flat Major, Hob. XVI:49, is a masterful reflection of the composer’s mature style. Composed around 1789-1790, this sonata is historically significant for its connection to Haydn's close friend and confidante, the accomplished pianist Maria Anna von Genzinger. Written during a pivotal, yet isolated, period in Haydn’s life at the Esterháza court, the work radiates an elegant intimacy and profound emotional depth rarely heard in the Classical sonata.

This edition is a reissue of Haydn’s piano sonatas originally published by G. Schirmer.
