PROGRAMME NOTES
Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)
Sonata No.52 in E flat major, Hob. XVI: 52, first movement: Allegro
The Piano Sonata in E flat major, H. 16/52, written in 1794, was dedicated to Therese Jansen, a leading pianist in London who had studied with Clementi. It is often described as Haydn's finest work in the genre and is the last of Haydn's piano sonatas. It gives evidence not only of Jansen's formidable technique, but of the more powerful sonority of the English piano in comparison to its German and Austrian counterparts.
It is written in sonata-form and starts with some thick chords to introduce the first motive, which make the texture become more complicated. Followed by transition passage, the second motive is livelier and detached which distinct with the first motive. The piece connects with long gorgeous quick thirty-second notes and also, sudden rest, contrasting dynamics and forceful accent (forzando) are used to add more interest into the piece.
降E大調鋼琴奏鳴曲H.16/52，寫於1794年，獻於倫敦著名鋼琴家泰蕾茲揚森。它在體裁上經常被描述為海頓的最好的作品。
樂曲使用了奏鳴曲式，並開始以一些厚重的和弦引進第一主題動機，使織體變得更複雜。經過一連串經過句後，跳躍的第二動機登場，性格與第一動機做成對比。此樂曲亦採用了，突然休止、極大的音響對比和突強記號以添加更多的興趣。
