Sviatoslav Richter, piano

Of the six Haydn sonatas published as Opus 14 in 1776, this one is generally held to be the best and represents Haydn's extensive experimentation with new variation forms.

The two outer sonata-form movements of the Sonata have distinctive thematic material which, in the first movement, is scrutinized in one of Haydn's most concise and intensely motivic development sections and, in the finale, the B minor and D major themes, highly contrasting in texture but sharing rhythmic features, are elaborated with contrapuntal ingenuity and virtuoso keyboard-writing respectively. The sonata is technically more difficult than any other in the set and has a rich variety of keyboard textures and sonorities, the most remarkable being in the transition section of the finale where the interlocking left- and right-hand octave passage, in similar motion in the exposition and contrary motion in the recapitulation, uses virtually the whole range of the contemporary keyboard in the space of four bars, a memorable instance of virtuosity dramatizing strcuture.

The opening theme of the first movement is stamped with affirmative runs and thumping bass chords. The development is frenzied, with a strong streak of the sardonic and even of rage. It is restless to the very end. The minuet is either very naive or very clever. The outer parts consist of typically elegant minuet music, but the central trio is aggressive and has a sinister edge. The last movement would not have disgraced the young Beethoven. It has fortissimo octaves and an insistent repeated-eighth-note rhythm. There is a short passage in which the music relents slightly from its impulsive drive and then crashes on to a stormy finish.
