Beyond the Galant is an entirely new way to
approach the musical styles, the fascinating
stories, and the electric music of Joseph Haydn's
"Sturm und Drang" period. The arrangements
of Symphonies 26, 44, 45, and 48 will challenge
not only your technique, but your sense of
phrasing and grace.
The practical historical commentary that
accompanies this work will aid the interpretation
of the many ornaments used by Haydn,
elucidate some of the controversies surrounding
these works, and show you the world of
Esterh‡za in which Haydn and his musicians
were making some of the world's finest music.
