Playful - perfect tempo. Anything but boring. I guess "LarsenPiano" is not a Haydn fan. Richter is one of the best Haydn interpreters ever. You hear each nuance, each voice. This last minuet movement is delightful. As a minuet you should be able to dance to it. So many people play Haydn too fast.

i'm learning this, i can do bits of it at the moment. it's not too bad. :)

[LarsenPiano]

This Haydn movement is so boring! Is it necessary to play all the repeats and in exactly the same way with the same ornamentation each time?

[stayingup2late2]

@LarsenPiano It's a dance, so you want the repeats because you want to keep dancing! Take a dance class and learn to minuet-- you won't want to stop dancing, either! ;-)

I dont like this playing...to much staccato for my taste....

[Katarinka91]

Great tempo. I'm just playing this sonata, it's really a pretty good inspiration!

[ashleyohtori]

A great balance between Gould and Schiff! My favorite recording. This is absolutely the perfect tempo for conveying minuet feel and the annoying two note slurs in the left hand!

a little too slow and grave for my taste, but well played.

WoW. This is amazing. I'm learning to play this song and am having a hard time with it. I didn't now that it was supposed to be this fast either. I've got a long way to go if I want to get my playing even close to the quality of Richter's. Simply amazing. Thanks for the upload.

[Euclid34]

yea its supposed to be this fast or even faster. this mvmt has a lot of energy, briskness and ur supposd to convey that.

Richter = Great

(and you Smithsher... go back to your middle-aged "women" with "greying hair" who "know" when they should "be submissive" as you wrote in on your page, which has been saved as testimony to your bad taste; with those tastes of yours no surprise R ' s greatness is disturbing you; but you know there is cure you from your obsession ; your adding "compliments" to foul comments does not help you to hide your idée fixe)

[smithsherman]

The attitude & approach feel fine,but again the lack of wit& surprise denigrate it greatly.

[samsonno]

You must be joking! Listen to more of Richter´s Haydn and you will find wit, surprise etc. to full its extent! His Haydn is the best I have heard from any pianist!
