Haydn: O Let Me in This Ae Night, Hob. XXXIa:61

 

This is a Scottish folk song that Haydn wrote an arrangement for.  I used the Pianet N sound for the keyboard part and the brighter of Nord's two Hohner String Melody II samples for the violin part.

Haydn: Divertimento in C major, Hob. XIV:3: II. Menuetto and Trio

 

This is written for clavier, two violins, and cello.  I played the clavier part with the Hohner Pianet N sound and all of the string parts with the mellower of Nord's two Hohner String Melody II samples.  I changed the dynamics in the Pianet part just by how hard I hit the keys (although the instrument doesn't have a large dynamic range), but for the strings, I used a volume pedal.

I shot video of the Pianet part but not the string parts.  They would have made editing the video more difficult, and I thought they wouldn't be very interesting to watch anyway.

Haydn: Minuet in G major


To-day's Haydn's birthday, so here's one of his minuets.  I got this from James Bastien's The Older Beginner Piano Course, Level 2, but it's also in Bastien's Easy Piano Classics.  I used the Pianet T sample.

Haydn: German Dance, Hob. IX:22, No. 2


Originally, I found this on IMSLP, which gives the catalogue number as Hob. IX:22, No. 2, but then I discovered it's also in Easy Piano Classics, which has better fingerings, more interesting articulation (the staccato notes), and a few more notes compared to what I found on IMSLP, so I used that version for my recording.
