Joseph Haydn composed his opus 13 set of keyboard sonatas in 1773 for his patron, Prince Esterházy. Though today some of its constituent works are overshadowed by other more popular works from Haydn’s pen, the collection was warmly received at their premiere, and even enjoyed several reprintings over the succeeding decades. The 1770s was a transition period for Haydn in which he was experimenting with the fortepiano and the clavichord. While the harpsichord was likely the instrument for which he composed these sonatas, they have been performed on all of these instruments, as well as the modern piano.

The lighthearted Sonata in E major is the second of the opus 13 set. It opens with a sprightly first movement. The principal theme features short, nimble phrases punctuated by full-voiced forte chords; the subordinate theme, briefly adopts a lyrical demeanor as it steady climbs upwards, but soon dashes off into similar energetic sixteenth-note figurations as the first theme. The movement unfolds as a typical sonata form, yet curiously Haydn does interject a single measure of Adagio tempo before the reprise of the second theme. In the key of the tonic minor, the central Andante opens with an air of melancholy and introspectiveness. The gently moving theme unfolds across a rounded binary form, moving to the key of G major and then back to the tonic of E minor. Lastly, a graceful minuet, contrasted by a trio in E minor, provides a relaxed and lighthearted conclusion to the sonata. Joseph DuBose
