Many pianists would love to play the greatest works of Haydn but find that their ambition surpasses their technical ability. Even so, there are still plenty of pieces and even extracts from longer works that are well within the abilities of a novice pianist. These accessible pieces are the focus of this collection. Just because these pieces do not demand the pianistic brilliance of other works does not mean they lack the stamp of the master. Each of these pieces is in the original form; none have been simplified. All of the pieces are performable separately, but they are certain to whet your appetite for more difficult pieces!

The composer wrote her trio for the Haydn celebrations in Eisenstadt in 2009. Inspired by the information that Haydn had wanted the slow movement of his Funeral Symphony No. 44 for his funeral, Kats-Chernin, in order to connect with her illustrious predecessor, drew on Haydn's rich wealth of motifs and composed a free fantasia on them, with an extended sustained passage. In the end, however, lively rhythmic finesse gains the upper hand, as is typical of both composers. Calliope is not only the muse of string playing and elegy, but also a fairground steam organ, so that the contrasting spheres are also captured in the title.

On the morning of Friday 8 July 1791 Haydn received the honorary degree of Doctor of Music as part of the annual Commemoration celebrations at the University of Oxford. That same evening his Symphony No. 92 was performed at the Sheldonian Theatre. This symphony was not composed expressly for the occasion but was one of a set of three (Nos. 90, 91 and 92) commissioned by, and dedicated to, the Comte d’Ogny in 1788/9. Of the work itself it is difficult to disagree with the view that ‘Haydn was quite right to pick this Symphony for the concert to celebrate his Oxford degree [...] for it artlessly presents the greatest contrapuntal mind since J.S.Bach, embedded within the popular classical style.’.
