About

The five Haydn sonatas from his first album were chosen by pianist Markus Becker to cut a broad swath within Haydn's variegated, highly inventive keyboard output: the widest possible range of formats, movement types, creative periods, and characters. Conversely, the works on his new recording are much closer to one another in terms of expression. Apart from the E Flat Major Variations, they are in minor keys. The result is a sort of programme album.

Solitude, or, more exactly, isolation, is what marked Haydn's biography the most. Composing at the Esterhazy court, he lived far from Vienna, without the distractions of socializing among the upper set in the Imperial city. Haydn could remain at one with himself and his music, as he famously stated himself: "No one near could confuse me, so I was forced to become original."
