Hi there,
As some of you know I'm I addicted to Baroque music, but Classicism is also part of my interests. Haydn is a fine composer.
If you want to play Sonatas of this composer, but very difficult, I can recommend the following book:
Haydn, ten easy Sonatas Stretta,look at the pages...
Haydn, ten easy Sonatas Amazon
.......relatively easy, but so Haydn and fun to play.....
Kind regards,
Johan B

Oh Holy Night Didn't seem like we had much of a holiday celebration. While local shopping malls & restaurants were open, people avoided large crowds. Looks like some of us are still in the holiday mood playing Christmas tunes. The last piece I played is a piano arrangement of "Jingle Bell Rock". We're already in January but uplifting to play holiday classics. 😇

Today I am giving Beethoven's bagatelle opus 126,1 some extra attention. It's been on the menu for quite some weeks now, and I still have not memorized the whole thing. And then there is the actual playing of it, which will keep me busy for some weeks to come. In particular there is one specific measure that requires a nimbleness which my fingers have not previously been asked to display.  But it's a pleasantly easy going piece which I look forward to having in my repertoire.
Physical instruments: Roland FP-30, and E-28
Virtual instruments: "The Experience" piano collection, NI "The Maverick", Galaxy II Grand piano collection, Synthogy Ivory II Studio Grands, Production Voices Estate Grand, Garritan CFX Lite, Pianoteq 7.5.2
Focus: 1850±100 years

I love cole porter…this piece looks doable, but I can’t get distracted 🤣. I often play pieces ‘cold’ and see where they land. I am not memorizing, but it focuses on bars to quarantine later for practice. I am also adopting new practice know.edge from the Art of Practicing, which blends nicely with my yoga practice… play with relaxed body. Often, I get tense when I get frustrated with practicing quarantined bars…and now I am going in with ‘joy’ and relaxed mind. I have mental block with playing fast tempo pieces, and this is what I am working on for rest of the year…allowing my body to get to that speed rather than forcing it with unrealistic expectations/timeline. I love The Art of Practicing (which my teacher says is the best book ever written about practicing an instrument)! Love to play Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin." Despite its funny name, it's a hauntingly powerful song--lyrics and music, with lots of sultry minor chords. So simple it's complex. "...so deep in my heart, you're really a part of me, I've got you under my skin."

Pauer, Sunday music
Today wednesday…whatever
Corelli, Album
…..just look around like I do in a magazine
Kind regards,
Johan B
