Joseph Haydn's Books

In their original form most of the Haydn compositions are usable by only very gifted musicians. In compiling this book Mr. Schaum has kept in mind the ideal of democratizing Haydn's music by making his oratorios, cantatas, songs, and symphonies playable for the average pianist. Through changed titles, the pupil gains a historical background while the biographical additions add color and charm. Only dependable references were used for the biographical data, and, as far as is known, it is historically true. Book 1 is to be used with the Schaum B Book and Adult II. Book 2 is to be used with the Schaum F Book.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1867.

These early keyboard works by Haydn were originally called Divertimentos or Sonatas, but because of their form and brevity were later renamed. Containing two to four movements each, they include much that is the essence of the Haydn style. The "Sonatina in G Major," Hob. XVI/8 is perhaps the best known of the set, yet all are worthy of study as preparation for Mozart and Haydn sonatas.

Titles are: * Sonatas No. 3 in F Major * No. 5 in G Major * No. 14 in C Major * No. 35 in A-flat Major * No. 42 in G Major * No. 48 in C Major.

It was from Haydn that I first learned the true way to compose quartets." Mozart. "Twelve String Quartets" marks the second volume in a projected monumental undertaking the complete Haydn string quartets. Players and students, music historians, and Haydn lovers will have inexpensive access to a uniform, strongly bound, and clearly printed modern edition of Haydn's finest pieces in complete score. Musicians, music students, and music publishers have a difficult time keeping up with Haydn, whose ceaseless production of original, first-rate work was legendary. He essayed most of the recognized genres, conferring upon several a legacy of expanded possibilities and clearly defined, characteristic form. Among these may be mentioned the symphony, the sonata, and perhaps most notably, the quartet. In a period of 50 years, Haydn (1732 1809) composed over 80 string quartets. Scholars are still debating questions of attribution and even completeness (unknown works by Haydn still turn up), and music lovers have had to make do with scattered, out-of-date, out-of- print editions of a few of the more familiar quartets. Otto Jahn wrote: "It is not often that a composer hits so exactly upon the form suited to his compositions; the quartet was Haydn's natural mode of expressing his feelings." Haydn's affinity to the quartet began with his earliest works, when he perhaps more than anyone established the four-movement structure of chamber music. In common with truly great and complete artists, who surpass early innovation to achieve their greatest work at the end, Haydn's later quartets are his best. This volume contains the full scores of: Op. 55, Nos. 1 3 (including "Razor") dedicated to Joh. Tost, ca. 1788 Op. 65, Nos. 1 6 (including "The Lark" or "Hornpipe") dedicated to Joh. Tost, 1790 or 1792 Op. 71, Nos. 1 3 dedicated to Count Appony, 1793 Large readable noteheads, ample margins for fingerings, etc., opaque paper, and permanent binding make this a fundamental addition to music libraries and musicians' repertories: a book for all who pay tribute to Haydn and who agree with "Grove's Dictionary" "The quartet he brought to perfection.

This volume includes 11 string quartets in complete score ? Haydn's last and best. Reprinted from the reliable modern Eulenburg edition.
