Joseph Haydn - Sonata in B-flat Major Hob XVI:2b | Library of Music

Haydn Sonatas: • Joseph Haydn - Piano S...
The sonata Hob. XVI:2b is a three-movement work in B-flat major for solo piano. It is a revised version of the earlier sonata Hob. XVI:2, with some changes in the first and third movements.
The first movement is a lively Allegro in sonata form. It begins with an upbeat that leads to a melody based on thirds and semiquaver triplets. The harmony alternates between the tonic and the subdominant chords, creating a sense of stability and balance. The second theme is more lyrical and consists of ascending scales and descending patterns with leaps. The harmony modulates to the dominant key of F major, where the exposition ends with a perfect cadence. The development section explores different keys and motifs, using sequences, inversions, and chromaticism. The recapitulation returns to the tonic key and restates the themes with some variations. The movement ends with a brief coda that reaffirms the tonic chord with broken octaves and triplets.
The second movement is a delicate Largo in 3/4 time. It is in the relative minor key of G minor and has a simple binary form (ABAB). The main theme is a plaintive melody that repeats a note (D) before a leap, followed by a semiquaver triplet that leads to a suspension. The harmony is mostly diatonic, with some secondary dominants and diminished chords. The second theme is in the parallel major key of G major and has a more graceful character. It features ascending scales and descending patterns with staccato articulation. The harmony is also more varied, with some modulations and chromatic chords. The first section ends with a perfect cadence in G major, while the second section ends with a perfect cadence in G minor. The movement has several mordents and trills that embellish the melodic line.
The third movement is a cheerful Allegro in rondo form. It has a recurring main theme (A) that alternates with two contrasting episodes (B and C). The main theme is a playful melody that uses syncopation, repetition, and sequences. The harmony is based on the tonic and dominant chords, with some passing notes and suspensions. The first episode (B) is in the dominant key of F major and has a more lyrical and expressive quality. It uses legato articulation, slurs, and ornaments. The harmony modulates to different keys, such as C major, D minor, and E-flat major. The second episode (C) is in the subdominant key of E-flat major and has a more energetic and rhythmic character. It uses staccato articulation, accents, and hemiolas. The harmony is more adventurous, with some chromatic and diminished chords. The movement ends with a coda that restates the main theme with some variations and cadences in the tonic key.
