Haydn: Sonata 32, I

[quinto34]

Your lucky you can play piano like that, very nice..

I listen to Sviatoslav Richter's version a lot. I loooove Haydn!

Did you know he was the favorite composer of Prokofiev?

[FrankenBosey]

Thanks quinto34. I had read once that Prokofiev liked Haydn, but did not know Haydn was his favorite. Prokofiev obviously had good taste. I like Richter too. Hes one of my favorite performers.

great! It's sad that haydn isnt so well known (like mozart for example). he has so great compositions.

I lern this sonata for my music study.

great perfomance

(sorry for my english, im german)

[FrankenBosey]

Thank you for the good words. Your English is just fine. I would say Haydn has a pretty good reputation in spite of his back seat to Mozart. After all, Mozart loved his work. All the best. -f

Beautiful! I love your playing!***********

[FrankenBosey]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[musicamusement]

So very beautiful, Franklin! Your playing and videos are excellent! Thanks so much!

[FrankenBosey]

Your comments are always warmly welcomed, Ms. Lorna. Thanks so much. My goal for all future material is to, like you, upload only performances without mishaps in them. You've shown that it's doable. -f

[FrankenBosey]

Thank you for the nice compliment. I wish I could play it like Brendel.

So sorry the little signature tag bothers you. It's something of a habit, I'm afraid.

[iddyumpty]

Oo, Franken - have a big bar of chocolate; it's lovely to have you doing some Haydn

[FrankenBosey]

I already did. Don't you see my waistline? -f

[maxhill77]

Franklin, just wanted to let you know I stopped in to view some of your videos. Very impressive. Your talent and presentation are great!! My wife and I met you at IHOP on Sat. night. Joe was our server you may recall. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Max and Gen

[FrankenBosey]

Yes Max, I remember you well. Thank you for the good words and the kind response. All the best to you both. -f

[pianogirl98]

Very nice!

[FrankenBosey]

Thank you madam. You know, Haydn is actually one of my greatest challenges in piano literature. If I can polish up his works a little better, I may just reward myself with something tasty like an ice cream cone. -f
