I just checked the listing of the complete works of Haydn in my copy of the Grove and their are no violin sonatas. Haydn did write tons of string trios, his employer Prince Esterhazy played an obscure string instrument called th baryton but these are of limited interest. He also wrote many superb string quartets.
Haydn Joseph Franz
Hi, I need help with classical music selections, and since you guys helped me out so much with Jazz selections, I have decided to ask for your help once again. I have become really intereseted in Violin Sonatas and Trio Sonatas (specifically Violin, Keyboard, & Cello) by Haydn and was wondering what some of the better recorded cd's are. I have no idea where to begin, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
