[mynameisbob135]

my name is joseph!

[mangaluva842]

I think the pedal added to this is brilliant

[AngaratoC]

Vive Haydn et ses sonates !!

[koolkat104]

I love this piece so much, especially the first little bit. I'm learning for my Grade 9 exam.

And to you yourself, excellent job playing this, especially at the speed you accomplished.

[Chromatica23]

I won provincials with this song ! =P

[BillODwyer]

Learnt the finale of this for grade 5... Currently learning the whole thing, but I can't play it anywhere NEAR as fast as you!

Great job :D

[anzioa]

absolutely wonderfully delightful

[littlexbluebutterfly]

i love this=)

[littlexbluebutterfly]

i wanted to applaud after watching this video.. you're pretty good

some really small insecurities but mhh.. can i do better? nooope

[JeremyRayBorders]

...and at 0:15 make sure not to rush into the next phrase...you gotta hold it and listen for a complete second of silence then go on...(when you watch this video you'll be able to hear that you rushed) .....but great! keep it up! how old are you?

[JeremyRayBorders]

the 1st 8 seconds set the tone of this entire piece, and literally you play the 1st 8 seconds better then I've ever heard anyone do it....the hand positioning and the way you use your gravitiy is PERFECTION....after that, watch the tempo and rotation of notes, make sure its all the same, this will keep the tempo in balance....great playing!!

[Peteski09]

oh, kay nvm, great job!

[Peteski09]

it sounds bit blurry (probably the pedal, which i doubt is needed); and tbh, there could be a bit more with the articulation, you just play whats there

overall though, its nice

[puppylove1206]

@Peteski09 I think that the pedal sounds pretty good -- maybe a TINY bit blurry (maybe that's just the audio). I think that he did a great job though!!!!

[gerardrensonnet]

[Darkboy2525]

VERY NICE !

[ferbr1]

bar 8;bar 40: bon appetit! ;)

[jambilove]

nice work. you play exceedingly well. very clean and precise.

[breezywindyairlia]

Nice! I'm learning this piece now but I still have to play it slowly... But good job! :DDDD

[amazingdyl]

i'm two years old and am having no trouble

[yokey69]

s.suggeee...(@_@;)

[monicapianista]

bellissima sonata!!!

[lalamisslala]

um I'm from holland so I don't know the grades and stuff.. how does it works and how do you know at which grade you are? I played this piece too but a bit slower. and I was 14

[JamaikanerGER]

i have to play it in a concert next thursday...and this sonate freaks me out especially the part in the left hand on 1:30...i am working on it as much as i can but it doesn't want to run fluently^^

[maxlee45]

You're pretty gorgeous,Now i am grade 5 and i m learning this song.For me,it was not easy and too fast to play...you are pretty good to play at this tempo.

Really Unbelievable...!!!

[InsaneSparrow]

I've been learning this. 0:52 is so hard!

[criseluka]

Great !! Keep up the good work!5* from me!

[Sashusik94]

Really nice, perfect technique perfect speed but try to put som emotion in it. GREAT :)

[corsairflyfan]

break in music is important, if they weren't , Haydn wouldn't have write them!!

[domenfon4]

It's good but it must be in the faster tempo i think but thats okay for you. have a nice day, bye

[ColdRain99]

Lol I'm still learning this song. Gonna play it for my Grade 9 exam. :P

[milomouse16]

nice tempo!

[sf8567]

oops--meant to say "era" not ear! ha!

[sf8567]

Absolutely beautiful!!! Folks need to remember that while emotion is yes, of course part of all music, we are talking about an early classical composer with Haydn and there is more technical emphasis to an extent in this ear than that in later periods. You worked so hard at this I can tell! (I know because I've learned it myself--fun to work on but lots of work!) Good for you and thanks for sharing!! :)

[ScottyHawkins]

And really, if I were you I would reconsider uploading a piece of Haydn's music this quality to the net... I'm pretty sure you play well and you can play this with much more emotion, thought and with better technique, so... why the hell didn't you do it?...

[ScottyHawkins]

I used to play it a couple of years ago and... Dude, not only is this a half of the regular pace it should be played in, but how can you upload it with so many and so horrible mistakes... There are a few text errors, but I can understand that it might be just another edition. However, technically this was crap, take a look at 1:34 or just listen to every single scale you play in the left hand - you slow down and yet you can't keep it straight and smooth enough, it sounds awful...

[jeroen89]

Your technique is quit good, only try not to make it sound to much as an etude but put some more emotion in it. Like already said you should avoid using the pedal. Keep up the good work!

[aznguy117]

well...its really good

you really make it clean, but your tempo slows down and changes at the wrong moments

i dont know if its intentional or not, but work on keeping a steady beat even at the faster runs

[RainbowBriteex]

Hey. I'm 15, learning this song and i have to sayy, mine sounds CRAP compared to yours. loll. thanks for giving me something to aim for. (:

[snacklover7]

i'm a freshman in highschool and am playing this peice, you do very good, and you balance between hands is wonderful. and also the runs in the left hand were very clean. Good Job.

[CATHERINEGREECE]

it' faster.......!

[templedread]

Not bad at all... :)

[EB3iA]

Well done! Wow... i'm learning this piece at the moment, and it sounds nothing like the perfection you just demonstrated

[mdoub]

good job, just try to make it sound less bland and sloppy

[domkoehller0407]

that's crazy...the kid did a really good job!

[gustafsg]

nice work..I'm doing this for my piano jury and it's not an easy piece!

[Tmisson]

Great Job!

I'm doing this piece for Grade 7 AMEB, its very hard but you made it look so easy!

In fact you were bordering on looking bored.

[gphil1391]

i think it's incredible that you can play this piece at this pace

[392023001]

this song is hard to play.

[promuso1]

I'm playing this song right now. I think you played it marvelously! I couldn't play it at that speed...

[yummypinkcookies]

i played this song 5 years ago for my exam before. i hated it.

[jadedkiwi23]

I played it my freshman year of college. I am not a big fan of Haydn. Nor was I of this piece either.

[koen1991]

verry good playing, only two things don't play so fast and in the time of haydn the pedal was almost never used so don't use it that much. I absolutely don't say i can play it better i'm now personally at 1:19, sorry for my bad english I'm dutch;)

[ASBECIO]

anchi suono questo brano e ritengo che sei abbastanza bravo

[wemustsavewolves]

amazing!

[computerwizard56]

lol another asian forced to learn piano

[happypatatoes]

Actually, you don't really know me, but what's funny is that I WAS forced to learn this piece. I would have learned a Beethoven Sonata but I did one the year previous, so then my teacher was like "Haydn or Mozart". So then I picked this one.

But other than that I love learning piano and it's something I do on my own accord.

What gave you the impression that I was "forced"?

[MrEbaby2011]

@happypatatoes Your playing is very exemplary., I think it is lucky that you have the chance to be 'forced' to learn Haydn's pieces. Yet, they are gems.

[asianchica666]

hey i dont remember this being this long...course, i didnt time myself either lol...so whut level cm r u on? if u do cm?(certificate of merit)

[happypatatoes]

I do panel for CM.

I finished level 10.

[asianchica666]

cool! im just passing level 7 ^_^ i asked that cuz i played that song for cm lolz

[maxi937]

Very little changes in dynamics and character, in other words, boring

[musicislove224]

yea i can see what you mean... the song is good. you know all the notes.. just lighten up the left hand because you really want to make sure you can hear the melody!! and when the left hand is the melody lighten up the right hand.. its what gives it character. :) but keep it up. good job.

[Pianoman1770]

very very nice! i love sonatas by haydn! they are always so happy! (if im wrong please let me know!) i wish i could play this song that well!

[17thbox]

really nice!

but u spelled potatoes rong :/

[movingmeat]

u spelled wrong wrong.. ;)

[happypatatoes]

You spelled you wrong.

And so did the other guy.

Sorry I know you were just trying to be funny but I had to come on it was the perfect oppurtunity. :)

[Lawrencelovespiano]

@happypatatoes

You spelled opportunity wrong. I just wanted to play.

[Pianoman1770]

rofl you spelled "you" wrong!

[lucylu1229]

You do a good job of playing this...my best friend actually played this last year (she's 10), so I'm very familiar with the piece. The dynamics are well rounded, but make sure you don't let the left hand play too loud when it doesn't have the melody. Also, an echo effect might have made it even better in certain places. Overall, great job.

[julywapo]

Tempo.. x) jejeje but, Good job!!

[nazzlilienmeer]

dinamics are pretty good.

well its putting a lot effort into it you know

im also playing that (:

[dutyman40]

absolutely wonderful. great job

[82idefix82]

I learnt to play that without any pedal at all (and prefer that, to be honest), but never played it so fast :)

Great job!!

[Pianoloverok]

You are wonderful!!!!!!!!!

[aaabbbccc5]

I can play this too so far until 1:10

You are good. A little to much pedal but so far so good. Keep working my friend.

[LesMusiqueEtDanse]

You play very nicely. Are you blind? I hope not, but if you are, WoW!

Merci bien.

[beethovenbd]

wonderfull performance of a lively and fun sonata:D

[soturquoise]

this is amazingg !

keep up the great work

[cutiebearbruin]

Ur sooo good, I personally think though that u played it a little too fast because some of the notes in bass and treble don't match up rythm-wise, but really, really, really good job!

[HubertDaHarp]

Not bad! I remember playing that peice... it's relly flashy :D make life happy.

[danny82ar]

about pedal... if we take as a reference earl wild's version you can see on the video how is he using both pedals. if you go to alfred brendel or lang lang haydn's sonatas you can see both them using pedal. i don't know i am just starting with music as for to give a personal opinion. please if it is possible and you have them in your repertory record for us the largo e sostenuto and presto ma non troppo. theank you very much.

[unnamedhobo]

Both? There's three pedals O_o

[ihrtmusic12334]

good

[teachman1957]

Wonderful, young man! I learned to play this Sonata this year and Iam now 50 years "young".

[nancyjzhou]

and i'm not good at piano or anything.........

[nancyjzhou]

um..............i'm eleven and i played this...

[mozartsnum1fan]

how can you play this at 11 even tho u aren't good at piano?

[nancyjzhou]

idk i don't think i'm good at least......

[hsgualekili]

Jeez, youre madd good.

Even better than my teacher!!

[nancyjzhou]

i don't believe u

[blankpianist]

I suggest getting a new teacher.

[mozartsnum1fan]

other than the one minor screw up at 1:35 you play this beautifully.  i added this to my favorites and i gave you 5 stars.

[mozartsnum1fan]

and to respond to that guy who said don't use pedal...i think this piece songs just fine with pedal...just as long as you don't hold it down for too long.

[mozartsnum1fan]

i meant SOUNDS just fine with pedal

[MRSschnitzel]

man. haydn is not a neoclassical. classicism (XVII - XVIII) in 18th century was three vienna's classicals : Haydn, Mozart and Bethoven. So he was totaly classicism period member..

[MRSschnitzel]

woow. you're amazing. maybe you have this sonata's sheets in your computer?

[avrilgirl93]

i was 12 years old when i play this sonata...

[mozartsnum1fan]

how old are you? i love this sonata! haydn kicks ass as well as mozart!

[happypatatoes]

I'm turning sixteen this April 16th. Haha I see you enjoy Neoclassical music.

[mozartsnum1fan]

neoclassical? no, mozart and haydn are classical...not new age classical...what are you talking about?

[happypatatoes]

Neoclassism refers to the period of art transitioning between the Baroque/Roccoco periods to the Romantic era. Composers include Mozart and Haydn. While most musicians consider Beethoven to be Classical, and transitioning into the Romantic Era, he is never considered to be in the Neoclassical period, which is why I used that era, to be a little bit more specific. Yeah that's it.

[TheBsa]

no... not at all... Neoclassism happened in the 20th century, when composers like stravinsky and prokofiev looked back to classical composers like haydn and mozart and composed style. Its obvious, when neo is put to a word it always means something like that, like a recreation of something from the past. Moral of this story... Haydn is classical, infact mozart and haydn epitomise 'classical'

[fortissimo25]

wait, are u using pedal? if u are, why in God's name are you? no pedal, man

[happypatatoes]

Hahaha. I know, classical and baroque music shouldn't use pedal, it's not within the style. But... My teacher told me too, and I dunno, I just think it sounds better. But, I would say that the use should be limited.:)

[jumpinjer10]

Great piece and great playing! How long have you been playing piano?

[happypatatoes]

5 and a half years.
