Hob. XVII: 4-When he switched from the harpsichord to the fortepiano in the 1780s Joseph Haydn found he had a rich palette of sound colours 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”. Christine Schornsheim provides historically accurate fingerings. This stand-alone edition follows the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition and provides an ideal means for players to get to grips with Haydn’s experiments with the sounds of the piano.When he switched from the harpsichord to the fortepiano in the 1780s Joseph Haydn found he had a rich palette of sound colours and dynamic variations at his disposal and he employed them enthusiastically in his C-major Fantasy.

These are the last of the nearly seventy quartets in Haydn’s oeuvre. Originally he intended to write a set of six quartets as so often in the past but at the time they were written in 1803 Haydn’s health was so poor that he could not fully satisfy the commission from Prince Lobkowitz. Instead he published only two complete quartets as op. 77. Later he allowed an incomplete work consisting of two middle movements to appear as op. 103 adding to the print the portentous words: “Gone is all my strength old and weak am I.” Musically however these quartets are anything but weak: they represent the aged composer virtually at the zenith of his powers. Haydn even went so far asto call op. 77 no. 2 his “most beautiful string quartet.”? These are the last of the nearly seventy quartets in Haydn ’s oeuvre.
