Harrison, Bernard – Haydn’s Keyboard Music

Description

In this first full-scale study of performance practice in Haydn’s keyboard music, Bernard Harrison confronts the important issues facing any performer of Haydn’s keyboard music, and at the same time develops some of the recurring controversial questions in broader research on Haydn’s oeuvre. ‘a major contribution to Haydn scholarship. Potential performers of the composer’s keyboard music will find a commanding and well-documented exposition of the problems facing him or her; at the same time the volume will be of fundamental value to those interested in Haydn’s music who are not primarily practitioners … comprehensive and authoritative.’ David Wyn Jones
