about Music – The Art of Listening. Programme 72

--:--

We are progressing in our exploration of musical fingerprints today by looking a third time at the music of Franz Josef Haydn, a Classical Period composer.

This we will do for at least one more week, leading up to comparing the style of Haydn with that of Mozart and Beethoven.

Today there is a Symphony, a Piano Sonata, and a Piano Trio – the first a little sad, the others extremely warm and humorous.
I hope you will be with me for the journey
