A refined Classical collection by Joseph Haydn, Sonatas for Violin and Piano (Edition Peters) presents works drawn from and related to his piano sonatas and chamber music. Edited by Hollander, it offers elegant and historically fascinating repertoire.
Elegant Classical craftsmanship and fascinating historical context define this distinguished collection of violin sonatas by Joseph Haydn. Sonatas for Violin and Piano, edited by Hollander and published by Edition Peters, gathers works (Hob. XV/32; XVI/43b; XVI/24–26; II/11; III/81–82) that reflect Haydn’s fluid approach to chamber music. Many of these sonatas are contemporary arrangements of his piano sonatas, divertimenti, and string quartets, and there remains scholarly debate regarding which were originally conceived for violin. Research by Gabriel Schaff traces their origins to works such as the Piano Sonatas Hob. XVI:24–26, XVI:43, and XVI:15, as well as later arrangements into Piano Trio Hob. XV:32 and String Quartets Op. 77 Nos. 1–2. While the arrangements are often attributed to Haydn himself, some may have been prepared by the English organist and scholar Charles Burney. Regardless of origin, these sonatas radiate Classical clarity, melodic grace, and balanced interplay between violin and keyboard, making them rewarding repertoire for recital and stylistic study.
