The Sonata in A major Hob. XVI:26 is one of the sonatas by Joseph Haydn which increasingly become the focus of attention of our piano teachers. Thanks to its moderate technical demands, it is perfect for piano lessons. At the same time, it shows essential features of Haydn's piano style in a condensed form - an expressive musical declamation, rhetorical breaks full of tension, wit and humour - which culminates not only in one of the shortest final movements of Haydn, but also in a minuet the second half of which (in Minuet and Trio) corresponds to the first half when played backwards. A real voyage of discovery for the 'eagle-eyed' ones among the young piano players! The musical text is based on Christa Landon's edition newly revised by Ulrich Leisinger- the notes on interpretation by Robert D. Levin provide assistance for a performance practice in the appropriate style. / Piano

Chr istian August Sinding, born in 1856, studied music in addition to his academic studies throughout his school years, taking violin with Gudbrand Bohn and music theory with L.M. Lindeman, one of the most important musicians in Christiana (later renamed Oslo). In 1874 he followed the path of his famous countryman Edvard Grieg by going to Leipzig to study. There, his violin teacher was Schradieck and his theory and composition teacher was Jadassohn. It became obvious that his major talent was for composition, so he gave up his violin studies in favor of it. Piano sonata written in 1909.
