Mariusz Ciołko - Haydn, Beethoven & Schubert: Piano Masterworks (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Over sixty well-known keyboard sonatas by Joseph Haydn (some of them of uncertain authorship) constitute a very interesting and diverse collection; nevertheless, they still have not been explored enough. As a continuum, they are not as coherent as the sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, each of which is a masterpiece. By contrast, Haydn’s complete sonatas can serve (and often do) as a model for explaining the evolution of the genre norms and deviations from them. The sonata oeuvre (as well as chamber or symphonic) of the oldest representative of the First Viennese School is a genuine melting pot of search for a new, nascent style, moving away from the Baroque era and the galant style (almost half of the keyboard sonatas were created rather for harpsichord). Some of these pieces are mainly didactic, but many are works of a mature talent and an expression of a very individual approach to the issues of form and texture, which do not easily fit into the text- book ‘lines of development’.
