Summary:

In this comprehensive study of performance practice in Haydn's keyboard music, Bernard Harrison confronts the important issues facing any performer of this repertoire. He deals with the full range of the composer's keyboard work--concertos, divertimenti, concertini, trios, Klavierstucke, and sonatas--and emphasizes the connection between performance practice and compositional style. He addresses many of the most controversial issues in recent research on the performance practice of 18th-century music, and takes a stance on some of the recurring controversies in Haydn research.
