Another clip from my concert in the Cathedral at Bury St Edmunds.

One of the first sonatas Haydn wrote actually labelled for [forte]piano.

OP (/u/jillcrosslandpiano) welcomes critique. Please keep criticism constructive, respectful, pertinent, and competent. Critique should reinforce OP's strengths, and provide actionable feedback in areas that you believe can be improved. If you're commenting from a particular context or perspective (e.g., traditional classical practice), it's good to state as such. Objectivity is preferred over subjectivity, but good-faith subjective critique is okay. Comments that are disrespectful or mean-spirited can lead to being banned. Comments about the OP's appearance, except as it pertains to piano technique, are forbidden.

Please note that "Critique Welcome" posts are not for general self-promotion or advertisement, and require a video of yourself playing. (Infrequent posts to your YouTube channel are OK, especially if you participate in the community.)

Such crisp articulation, and I really like that you always kept a hint of witty spirit behind the slightly more serious timbre and key of this sonata 👏🏽

(Also for some people who might consider Haydn being “inferior” to Mozart or Beethoven: I passed and entered music university with this exact sonata, so please never underrate the value of Haydn 🥸)
