More from TomoHusky
This is the first movement of a rather interesting classical sonata. This is from a live performance back in 2002 I gave for my Master's Recital, in fact I opened with it.
ABA form as you would have guessed with a heavy emphasis on the development. If humor could ever be captured musically, here in this sonata we can find one of the best examples of such. It makes fun of itself, it takes itself at times way too seriously and gets itself into these harmonic and motivic labyrinths that leave those in the know wondering how the composer will escape. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope I was able to put enough of the humor out there for you to see it.
Another point of interest is that the composer likely wrote this piece to explore and show off the dynamic range and tonal contrasts of a new pianoforte which became available to him - thus the "unusual" dynamic extremes.

Well he was one of the first to explore sturm and drang, a mantle picked up by Beethoven and carried out to an extreme. Two movements is not all that rare for the Baroque period, and Haydn did have three movement forms as well. The really daddy of multimovement forms would be Brahms. In this same concert I performed his F minor Sonata with 5 movements. A full 38 minutes of romantic narcissism.
