Haydn’s Last Five Piano Sonatas: Their Influences on Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas

Authors

Abstract

This article gives particular attention towards the late piano sonatas of Haydn and the complete cycle of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. It is based on the belief in empiricism, which, in this specific case, suggests that composers—past or present—have always influenced others, and the composers themselves, in turn, have also been influenced by others. By saying this, one has to take risk in believing that in no way can a composer be influenced by that which he has never experienced in life.
