Piano Sonata in C major, H16 50

Experience Classical

This late sonata dazzles with sophistication and inventiveness, breaking the shackles of the classical period. Its speed, boldness and modulations look forward to Beethoven and Schubert, but its humour and wit never let you forget it is Haydn’s. Composer: Joseph Haydn Performers: Louis Schwizgebel-Wang (Piano) Recording date: 22 February 2014 Date of broadcast: 22 April 2014
