- The sonata was written for and dedicated to Therese Jansen Bartolozzi c. 1794. Jansen Bartolozzi subsequently published the sonata c. 1800 with the title: "A Grand Sonata for the Piano Forte Composed Expressly for and dedicated to Mrs. Bartolozzi by Haydn ... Op. 79 ... London. Printed for, and to be had of the Proprietor 82 Wells Street and of the Publishers J. and H. Caulfield 36 Picadilly." The Sonata has three movements: Allegro; Adagio; Allegro molto.
Ben Schoeman (piano) performs Joseph Haydn's Sonata in C Major, Hob. XVI:50, at the Cleveland International Piano Competition 2013. Gartner Auditorium, Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA.
South African pianist Ben Schoeman won the first grand prize in the 11th UNISA International Piano Competition, Pretoria (2008), the gold medal in the Royal Over-Seas League Music Competition, London (2009), the Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Music (2011) and the Contemporary Music Prize at the Cleveland International Piano Competition, USA (2013). In 2016, he was awarded the H Rupert Prize from the South African Academy of Arts and Sciences.
He has performed throughout Europe, Canada, the USA and South Africa in such renowned concert halls as the Barbican, Cadogan, Queen Elizabeth and Wigmore Halls in London, the Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Gulbenkian Auditorium in Lisbon, the Cape Town City Hall and the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest. He has played at many festivals, including the George Enescu Festival, the City of London Festival, the Grahamstown Arts Festival and the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival. He has collaborated with numerous conductors, including Nicholas Cleobury, Carlos Izcaray, Gérard Korsten, Theodore Kuchar, Diego Masson, En Shao, Yasuo Shinozaki and Conrad van Alphen.
In 2014, along with his duo-partner cellist Anzél Gerber, Ben Schoeman performed at Carnegie Hall, New York. Amongst several prizes, the duo won the gold medal in the Global Music Awards for their recording of music by Anton Rubinstein. The eminent South African composer Stefans Grové dedicated his Concerto for Piano, Cello and Orchestra ‘Bushman Prayers’ (2013) to Gerber and Schoeman, and they premiered the work with the Cape and KZN Philharmonic Orchestras.

Haydn's piano sonatas have hidden depths. His slow movements are especially profound, as here. Lovely playing.
0:06 1st movement - Allegro
5:29 2nd movement - Adagio
11:05 3rd movement - Allegro molto
Thank you😊😊
😮 im just a dude learning about sonatas because they have always attracted my attention. That was a roller coaster of emotion. They it started and ended with beauty and relief as expected. Cool. Onto the journey then. ❤
I never understand why Haydn seems to be so under appreciated .....he's as vital as Mozart or dare I say he's student Beethoven....
agreed
Honestly, I've never heard a Haydn sonata I didn't like, and I've never heard a Mozart sonata I did like (except maybe the F major (No 11 or 12 or something (can't remember))).
Haydn always seems to be too underestimated for some reasons. Mozart is lucky to have that gifted talent, but no one really see that his music is just a different version of Haydn’s and that mostly he learnt from Haydn.
Mozart is 100 million times better than Beethoven.
@@KeenBulldozer I don't want to argue of course. Everyone has their own "attachments." But it's impossible to compare them... Different 'rules of the game,' different ideas, different worlds... I want to add my two cents :) This is my movie about "Moonlight Sonata". Maybe it will add some sense. ua-cam.com/video/36zIwQoXtWk/v-deo.html
Excellent...must confess I'd never heard of Ben Schoeman before...my loss...😕😕
What a sparkling performance as if the performer's hands had been dipped in champagne! Every phrase, from the exuberant major-key melodies to the "storm-and-stress" bursts in the minor and the long singing middle-movement lines - love those very subtle staccato-like touches - and the last bubbly movement. What comes across is a narrative woven together by shaping the individual musical phrases from within (dynamically and through a coloratura articulation) rather than just from one phrase to the next through contrast. The result: musical sculpture where the notes burst forth like strings of glistening jewels. Mr. Schoeman makes himself the channel for Haydn who comes through in unfiltered (i.e. by any distracting musical or or performance gestures) purity.
I love this description!
alcoholism was always the way lol
5:28 second movement
11:05 third. Movement
Bellísima interpretación. Y Haydn un genio tapado por Mozart y Beethoven. Su música es para disfrutar. Un genio alegre.
Fantastic^^♡♡♡
It has so clear sound and l like the style changing while continuing.
Thank you for uploading^^~
He is so good and yet I haven't heard him play any songs yet! I'm glad to find him!
Beautiful interpretation! Absolutely wonderful. This is the best interpretation I have ever heard so far! :)
This kind of playing is dreamy, and I can’t imagine it any other way, even if Haydn himself were to say, “This is too buttery.”
this is exactly how this piece should be played. Bravo. perfect and still beaitiful
And he makes it look so easy. Beautiful interpretation.
Loved the 2nd movement, so beautiful!
Beautiful delicate playing. I played this sonata when I did my Licentiate many years ago.
Bravissimo, interpretazione impeccabile
wonderful play👍👍👍👍
best interpretation I have heard in youtube
Andres Park l agree
Tbh not really but it’s unbelievable
I am inspired. Thank you!
Bravo !
RHis is one of the last sontats of Josph Haydb. It iuncludes some unusual discontinuities in the melody, and contrapunctal echoes. It is very interesting to hear carefully
.
My teacher recommended this song, and I'll pick this song
It's a piece smh
Dude no one cares
@@JimJam08-v3g
People do care; this ugly mutation has become probably the most ridiculed misuse of any single word in modern English, and is nothing more than a grotesque excrescence on the body of a very beautiful language.
absolutely delightfull
so beautiful!!!
BEUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Very well played. And thanks for the close-up of the hands much appreciated as a learner. Recommended by @PianoRoadmap
de las mejores interpretaciones que escuché
He is a South African musician who trained in Pretoria and was the winner of a recent Unisa International Piano Competition. He now lives in England (I think).
Nice
Thanks 👍👍
1:15 perfect
0:06
Very good😀😀😀👏👏👏
Haydn underrated? I don’t think so; he’s rightfully acknowledged as one of few, greatest composers. Personally I rank him in my own Top Six Composers.
I was in a sublime state of being while listening to this and then an ad blasted in the middle of the second movement. Whyyy?? Please, don't do this.
5:29
You can turn off the sound and you still understand Joseph Haydn's humor.
잘치신다....
Speechless
😅
볼살 튕기는 실력도 일품.
아앀ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그거만 보여욬ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
For my feelings, too much "delicatezza".
But it's ok, we live in a free world.
