Horowitz plays Joseph Haydn Sonata in F major Hob. XVI 23 - I. Allegro moderato

[PianosLikeToPaint]

I'm playing this piece! Whoever played this is brilliant! However, at the end of the piece, it's supposed to be forte.

[HankDrake]

Horowitz plays with a sense of wit and charm sorely lacking in today's Haydn performances.

[careinn10]

his dynamics are good, but I dislike how he pops off endings sometimes.

[1234musicnote]

I <3 this

This is the first video I've ever seen that has 0 dislikes.

Masterpiece. 

[siegfriedstark]

Haydn's clavinetism is really highly inventive, as well as his melodic lines.

[balletlover119]

:) im just wondering, but isnt this piece suppposed to be a little slower?

[Starwalker6978]

@balletlover119 Ask Haydn! He probably would answer you that it'd sound ridiculous when played slower.

[RicAbapo]

@Starwalker6978 well, i agreem with balletlover! S/He doesn't mean that this should be played "slower" but just a bit slower.. for me this is too fast, but still, i like it! hahahaha.. xDD

[0anthonyhealey0]

@Starwalker6978 Horowitz has a tendency to play his pieces at a rather brisk pace, yet he barely loses the quality or tone.

[whattheasiann]

WHAT GRADE IS THIS IN AMEB LEVELSSSSSSSS? ( australian )

[whattheasiann]

@sunvis314 really? :( oh shoot then its not gd enuf @__@ wat classical pieces do you recommend for hsc music 2 performances? :D

[Starwalker6978]

@sunvis314 @whattheasiann Horowitz said once: "Everything is difficult."

Michelangeli once programmed to play the Tchaikovsky concerto. The concert was cancelled; probably because he didn't feel satisfied with some passage, so he didn't play it. He later never performed the concerto.

What I want to say is, that playing the notes is easy, but playing music is very difficult, even in a Haydn sonata!

[1234musicnote]

@Starwalker6978 That is so freakin' true...

[AOK4mea]

@whattheasiann In RCM, I'm pretty sure it's grade 9. It only sounds difficult as it's played so fast. In actuality, the technique is veyr easy to master. :)

[townsendjean]

@AOK4mea this marvellous work is deceptively difficult to pull off. It requires

a special musical sense and intelligence to get the inner workings and dynamics

just right, otherwise it comes off tedious and boring. Horowitz sets the example.

Every note is beautiful. Thanks for posting it up! I am learning it right now

[LittleLulubee]

Does anybody know what grade (level in piano playing) this song would be appropriate for? Thank you

[kouteri]

@LittleLulubee Im currently playing level 9 in piano and i can play this song...it really depends on how dedicated you are to this type of music, but around level 8 or 9 would be fine ( in my opinion)

Good luck! :)

[kelly321599]

@LittleLulubee this piece is in the grade 9 level, but its considered difficult for even grade 9. I just started grade 9 and I'm learning it right now

[platypiforeva]

this is such an easy song to play

[1234musicnote]

@platypiforeva Yeah, it is easy to memorise and everything BUT IT IS DAMN HARD TO PLAY IT AS GOOD AS HOROWITZ!!!

[platypiforeva]

@1234musicnote true

[teganbowiefreak]

[Nabreus]

@Starwalker6978 JFGI

[LoveBuggJ12]

@Starwalker6978 ren arts is the name of a really cool school its actually renaissance arts academy but its ren arts for short

[Gargantupimp]

@LoveBuggJ12 What does anything about this video have to do with the renaissance? Pianos weren't around then, Hadyn wasn't around, pretty sure neither was Horowitz. This is Enlightenment period stuff.

[ChildhoodMobility]

@Starwalker6978 :p it's our school. we have to write an essay on this, Chopin's impromptu, wuthering heights and the aenied. >:(( it sux!

[meghangirskis101]

@Starwalker6978 its a art school in la, we were told we have to do an essay about this and another piece and compare them to two stories

[LoveBuggJ12]

@teganbowiefreak yeah go renarts!!!!!!!! i luv being a renartian !!!!!!!!!!!

[kelly321599]

@teganbowiefreak well, its not 18,000 anymore - its 24344. that is a damn lot of views!

[chappybolo]

Renarts...do not return comment

[townsendjean]

Horowitz has an uncanny rhythmic sense, aside from all the other intricate

talents he has, to make this marvellous work come alive.

[kaspinio]

its like massage on my brain

[twinklygaze]

Haydn would have been proud of Horowitz :]]]

[jewish1972]

haydn era 1 hombre nada guapo y hay k ver lo apuesto k sale aqui

[Euclid34]

wow i played this last year and i love this recording of horowitz...gotta love him.

[Istarilight17]

wow, just wow... I really need to relearn this piece.

[munkeey1123]

his pedal work makes the piece all the more amazing =) this is definitely by far the best version of this i've heard

[drewby2006]

[danielwowman]

exelent

[ilovescarlatti]

Haydn what a genius... Horowitz super....,

[kempff95]

the best of this hayden!

[hsumann]

Sweet, a Horowitz recording! And he never disappoints...

[bsdkflh]

...interesting rendering of a keybord, there on the 2nd picture...

anyway, nothing special.

The trill at the ending totally killed me, though.

[parule]

It's very special. There's no recording like this one.

Very vivid and unique playing in the way of haydn should be played.
