English: In my map of world's piano music, there were few pieces about Sir Haydn's. To be honest, I wasn't good at playing his works. Merely because of The Grading Examination's need and some practical teachings' requirements for my kids, I would turn to research some of his. However, some lacks of experiences cannot block an appreciating heart of mine for beauties in his sonata-formation. Following this mind, this classroom draft of Haydn's sonata - e minor sonata was born here. Sorry, less training time was there, which would make you critique some 'keyboard-sliding' parts. Therefore, it was a little bit rough from classroom. But, to me, it was another beginning. You can hear the clear melodic line was singing out, and further, in the middle, two hands were horizontally weaving together (yes, it was called Classical Counterpoint: like in counterpoint - fugue, but being applied with the classical style; in our introduction article of Haydn characteristics, it was a point in learning:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Haydn - session 'Structure and character of his music'), dialoguing (a little bit like a small quarrel), running after each other, climbing up and communicating, which motivates the theme to an emotional peak. It's a popularization from classroom draft what I was doing with an educational approach.
In my educational research & analysis, this piece was seriously designed and applied in Sonata form - you can hear its brief collections were all alongside the logical line: Introduction, Exposition, Development, Recapitulation and a half-opened Coda repeating the first theme sentence...
(Wikipedia introduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonata_form )
As a result of this point, I thought it could carry more exampling functions in our classrooms.
About the basic technique points from its classroom training, I thought a large part of targets had been met. I prefer a new edition after modifications would come soon with more expressive and enriched emotion elements participant-observing Sir Haydn's life.
What's more? I think Sonata Thinking Way, in education, was a good problem-solving methodology. As a teacher and learner, I hope kids and young people would enjoy it. Let's wait its bettering...
Benefits of the Second version: In my mind, compared with the first draft, the second version was of much loveliness and contented more changes of dynamics. More details have been carefully treated which made the texture much clearer and the structure more distinguishable. In addition, I enjoy Second version's ornamentation style - more, light and fast. However, short-time recording still made some fingers-touching details a little bit rough such as 0.53-0.54, which I would also attribute to the influence of richly emotional outputs. All in all, I thought it better than before and we can wait for further progresses from continuing fingers-training in future.
Benefits of the Third version (Current): In the third version, much more stability and unification of speeds and rhythm have been made, which better reflected out more skillful techniques, stretched movements, flexible coherence, sweet tastes and brighten colours of Vienna School being dreamed after by many players (including myself). Meanwhile, you can also hear 'pearls of last session' (heads of motives) have been threaded in the melodic layer.
