TEACHING NOTES
This Presto is a sheer delight to play, showing much of Haydn's humour. Although marked Presto, make sure it retains grade and doesn't just descend into a blur of notes. Articulation is key, and Haydn is very specific. Notice the subtle changes of how the main theme is articulated from bar 33.

In this recording a few subtle rits have been used such as at bar 58.

Slurred pairs should always have a "sigh" effect, be careful to lift the second note of such without accent.
