Title: Rondový a variačný princíp v Klavírnej sonáte Hob. XVI:50 Josepha Haydna
Author: Andrej Čepec

Abstract: Joseph Haydn’s (1732–1809) piano sonatas capture not only a development of technical possibilities of various kinds of keyboard instruments of the second half of the 18th century (clavichord, harpsichord, hammerklavier), or an individual piano style, but they reflect also a development and crystallization of sonata form of the high Classicism. Following the short characteristics of Haydn’s Piano Sonata C Major (Hob. XVI:50) the submitted contribution focuses on the application of the monothematic principle in the first movement of the sonata, as well as on its inspirational sources – influence of the compositions by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. It points to some compositional elements which the sonata has in common with pieces from the earlier period of Joseph Haydn’s work (divertimenti, rondos, etc.) also in the context of period reflection of the composer’s creation.
Several studies originated in the past dealing with Haydn’s piano compositions, however, the usage of variational principle and improvisation in piano sonatas of the 18th century have not been reflected sufficiently yet and the mutual relations between rondo and sonata form were only indicated in them. In this context it is important to accentuate the significance of mutual comparison of piano works of not only the exponents of the period (D. Scarlatti, G. Chr. Wagenseil, W. A. Mozart etc.) but of as many as possible 18th century composers. Due to this comparison we can have a more precise image about the development and crystallization of musical types and genres of the said period, or we can elucidate some compositional methods, which – through the prism of the 19th century – have often been evaluated as atypical.
