Piano Sonata Hob. XVI/17

The Piano Sonata in B-flat major, Hob. XVI/17, is a composition that was originally attributed to Joseph Haydn, but was later considered to have been written by an unknown composer, subsequently identified as Johann Gottfried Schwanenberger.[1][2]

History

The composition was discovered in Raigern Abbey, located in Brno, Czech Republic, by G. Feder.[1] The work appears to be the product of Johann Gottfried Schwanenberger and not Joseph Haydn.[1] The manuscript containing the composition is now housed in the Leoš Janáček Museum in Brno, Czech Republic.[1]

Structure

The Sonata is in three movements:

  1. Allegro
  2. Andante
  3. Allegro
