The Classical Piano Sonata: From Haydn To Prokofiev

This detailed look at 14 sonatas casts new light on some of the most masterful pieces written for the piano and on their famous composers. Each composer's style and the intangible qualities that differentiate Hayden from Mozart, Beethoven from Schubert, and Liszt from Brahms are discussed. Such works as Hayden's Piano Sonata in C Minor, Mozart's Piano Sonata in C Major, Beethoven's Piano Sonata in E Major, Schubert's Piano Sonata in A Minor, and Braham's Piano Sonata in F Minor are featured.

I have read only 13 pages of this book, but already am concerned that page 13 states that Franz Joseph Haydn was born in 1852?!?!?! Obviously a typo, but totally avoidable!
