Piano Sonata, in E flat played by Shula Doniach
Haydn's most original work was done in his symphonies and string quartets, although he was certainly one of the first composers of his time to realise the possibilities of the piano sonata. His piano sonatas are nothing like so daring in form and treatment as those of Mozart; but the one in E flat is typical of the composer's clear-cut, melodious style.
