Haydn: Eight Early Sonatas Tuija Hakkila

An album of Joseph Haydn’s eight delightful early keyboard sonatas by Tuija Hakkila performed on two fortepianos. Haydn did not publish his first collection of six sonatas until 1774. Of the sonatas selected for this project, Haydn wrote all of these over a period of about 15 years before his 40th birthday. Hakkila has selected an Italian-style instrument for two Sonatas (E major and G minor), a copy of a Gottfried Silbermann fortepiano.
