I’ve been listening to an intriguing new album. It’s called Heretic Threads and it contains a most unusual treatment of three keyboard works by Haydn. The three works are:
- Sonata in F Major for fortepiano Hob XVI 23
- Sonata in E Minor for fortepiano Hob XVI 34
- Fantasia in C Major Hob XVI 4
The treatment is that each is first played on fortepiano by Boyd McDonald. Then there’s a version for accordion by Joseph Petric. Finally composer and recording engineer Peter Lutek has created an electronic piece by sampling and processing excerpts from the fortepiano and accordion versions.
