Piano Quartet

By Franz Joseph Haydn

Item Number: HL.51480188

ISBN 9790201801889. 9.25x12.25 inches.

As the title implies, these four concertini by Joseph Haydn have to do with small concerti, whereby “small” is to be considered from several points of view: the size of the Haydn concertini, the scoring for piano solo, two violins and bass as well as the technical demands made upon the solo pianist – Haydn's early works were laid out so as to be easy to play. They thus offer ideal literature for young pianists' first appearances on the stage and can also serve to prepare the larger piano concerti of Haydn and Mozart.
