6 Sonatinas

Download or read book 6 Sonatinas written by Franz Joseph Haydn and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on 2005-05-03 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These early keyboard works by Haydn were originally called Divertimentos or Sonatas, but because of their form and brevity were later renamed. Containing two to four movements each, they include much that is the essence of the Haydn style. The "Sonatina in G Major," Hob. XVI/8 is perhaps the best known of the set, yet all are worthy of study as preparation for Mozart and Haydn sonatas.
