The Sonata in C major, originally listed as 21 in Hoboken category 16, but later renumbered to 19, was the first of six published as Haydn’s opus 13. The set was composed in 1773 for Prince Esterházy, Haydn’s patron, and was warmly received. Furthermore, it enjoyed several reprintings over the next several decades. Nevertheless, today, the C major Sonata is one of Haydn’s less recognized works for keyboard. Though Haydn specified on the title page for the sonata to be performed on the harpsichord, it is generally recognized that the 1770s was a transition period for the composer, in which he was also experimenting with the fortepiano and the clavichord, and thus the sonata has been performed on all of these instruments, as well as the modern piano.

Cast in the usual three-movement form of the Classical period, the sonata opens with a stately first movement. The Allegro moderato tempo establishes the dignified air of the movement as the opening theme unfolds with dotted rhythms and graceful triplets. In the latter part of the exposition, the regal manner is momentarily abandoned as the key turns towards the minor. In contrast to this opening movement, the central Adagio is more ornamental and melodic. Dramatic melodic leaps and poignant harmonies characterize the rounded binary form movement. Like the first movement, the mood turns somewhat mysterious as the key wanders toward the minor mode before returning to blissful opening theme. Lastly, a Presto finale concludes the sonata with the wit and rhythmic playfulness for which Haydn is so well-known. Joseph DuBose
