JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809): 10 kleine Klavierstücke, 12 Menuetti, Hob.IX:3, Allegretto in G, Hob.XVII:10, Marsch in E Flat, Hob.VIII:3/3bis, Contredanse in D, Hob.XXXIc:17b, 12 Menuetti di ballo, Hob.IX:11 “Redout Menuetti” “Katharinentänze”.

Description: 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 kleine Klavierstucke 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. Jenő Jandó (piano).
