Classical. When he switched from the harpsichord to the fortepiano in the 1780s, Joseph Haydn found he had a rich palette of sound colors and dynamic variations at his disposal, and he employed them enthusiastically in his C-major Fantasy. This piano piece, composed in early 1789 in a "whimsical hour," was intended by Haydn to meet with approval from "both connoisseurs and amateurs" - not least because it is "not too difficult."

However, these masterfully constructed miniatures are well suited to keyboard performance and are characteristic of Haydn's humor, tenderness, charm and passion. The selections provide intermediate pianists with a wealth of musical ideas and harmonic invention, and are similar in difficulty to Haydn's Sonatinas. - the publisher (thematic index)

Classical. This Haydn sonata has previously not been available in the Henle catalogue as an individual Urtext edition. Nevertheless, it numbers among Haydn's famous piano works. It was written in 1789 (thus making it one of the "late sonatas") for the Leipzig publisher Christoph Gottlob Breitkopf. Its two-movement structure fathoms the entire spectrum of Haydn's musical language: from the brooding-improvisational first movement to the sparkling, humorous Finale. Haydn exploits here the full range...
