About

It is known that in the Hoboken catalogue there are no Sonatas for these instruments apart from Hob:32, which has for a long time been considered the sole authentic Sonata for violin and piano by Haydn - surely a bit surprising since we are talking about the composer who has been acknowledged as the father of the string quartet.

However, Alberto Bologni and Giuseppe Modugno have discovered within the archives of the Civico Museo Bibliografico in Bologna, a copy of a printed edition dating back to the early 1800s which supposedly includes another three Sonatas - XVa. Of these, we know that at least the entire Sonata in C major had been performed by the well-known Italian violinist Sandro Materassi together with his friend Luigi Dallapiccola.

This is delightful music which is enhanced by the extraordinary instruments which have been used for this recording: an original fortepiano Johann Schantz dated from 1815 (which was considered as the “Stradivari” among  fortepianos in Vienna during the 19th century and even Franz Joseph Haydn was fond of such a precious instrument) and a beautiful violin Santo Serafino dating from 1734.
