Haydn -- The Complete Piano Sonatas, Vol 2: Comb Bound Book (Alfred Masterwork Edition)

These three volumes, in practical urtext-pedagogical editions, are designed with the idea that these precious works will be performed on the modern piano. With respect to the original text, Dr. Hinson offers many valuable, stylistically faithful suggestions for interpretation. Volume I is appropriate for progressing intermediate students, and provides a most effective introduction to the great Viennese Classical style. The comb binding creates a lay-flat book that is perfect for study and performance.

This book ended up being exactly what I needed. As a piano student, I really only needed one piece in the book, but I like to have larger collections of a composer's work. The bind is great and lays flat. The edition also has many helpful notes and background information.

Haydn's works are beautiful and many are delightful to play. it's spiral bound and easy to turn the pages. the print is a good size and not smudged so it's easy to read too.

I now have all three volumes of Haydn's piano sonatas and it is a joy to have something different I can learn and play. Some are difficult and require patience and practice and some I can sight-read without hardly any trouble and that is what I like about these books.
