"The 55 Haydn Sonatas are perhaps the least-known treasures of the piano repertoire. In them one can hear Haydn virtually inventing the classical style, from the early, somewhat tentative beginnings, through the bold experiments of the 1770s, to the adventurous late works. As with Beethoven (Haydn’s somewhat recalcitrant student) each sonata is a new exploration, and the element of surprise is ever present. Haydn delights in abrupt transitions, twists and turns, sudden pauses, and apparent non sequiturs; listening to him demands a constant alertness. ...

In the finale, a jaunty scherzo-like theme has great trouble getting anywhere, as it keeps being rudely interrupted by dissonant harmonies and sudden pauses, till finally it succeeds to general rejoicing – all this in under three minutes!"
