Description "Sehnsucht nach dem Landleben"

The piano edition of "Sehnsucht nach dem Landleben" (MH 833) by Johann Michael Haydn, published by Classicato, presents this enchanting work of Viennese Classicism (ca. 1770) in an arrangement for piano in C major in 6/8 time.

Originally composed as a vocal quartet for two tenors and two basses, the piece captures the longing for the simplicity of rural life in a warm-hearted, melancholy sound world. Michael Haydn, the younger brother of Joseph Haydn, demonstrates his mastery of clear harmony and expressive melody in this work.

The lyrical lines and harmonic structure have been carefully transferred for the piano in order to preserve the essence of the original. The flowing 6/8 rhythm and gentle melodies conjure up images of peaceful landscapes far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

With a duration of around one to two minutes, the piece is ideal for pianists looking for an accessible yet expressive classical work. The Classicato edition is based on original manuscripts and offers a clear, scholarly edition that is perfect for concert programs, preludes or as an encore. Sehnsucht nach dem Landleben combines technical precision with emotional depth and is a must for pianists who want to discover Michael Haydn's brilliant yet lesser-known music.
