Haydn/ Jando - 10 Kleine Klavierstucke / 24 Menuetti

In addition to some 47 keyboard sonatas, Haydn wrote a variety of other pieces including arrangements of earlier orchestral or chamber works, and dances intended for occasional use. The 10 kleine Klavierstucke (10 Little Piano Pieces) contain five symphonic movements- including the second movement from one of his most popular, No. 53 in D major, known as L'Imperiale- a single movement from a string quartet and three extracts from his witty Eszterhaza opera La vera constanza. The dance movements were popular in Vienna's many ballrooms. This is the penultimate release in Jeno Jando's project of recording the complete solo piano music by Joseph Haydn. Of the complete piano sonatas release, Audiophile Audition commented: "Jando is every inch the professional, his years of experience and his muscular playing full these [works] with vivacious life."
