Honens @ Home: Georgy Tchaidze performs Haydn

Joseph Haydn was one of the most prolific and prominent composers
of the Classical period. Unfortunately for pianists of his time,
it wasn't always easy to get one of his scores. Prior to his
publishing deal in 1774, pianists looking to play Haydn's
compositions would have had to search for a handwritten,
bootlegged copy.


The work we are sharing with you today is one of his first
sonatas ever published, from a collection of six, and is still
one of his most popular. We hope you enjoy Haydn's Sonata in F
Major Hob. XVI/23, performed live at the Banff Centre for Arts
and Creativity by 2009 Honens Prize Laureate Georgy
Tchaidze.
