@Susan Rogers That movement is one of the most haunting pieces of music I know of. I try to not get to emotional when playing it, but it’s difficult. Looking forward to hear you play it!…

@Andrea Buckland Thank you, Andrea! Yes, the Rondo will be a lot of fun to learn! There's no shame in not knowing much Haydn! I have listened to some Haydn, but have a lot to discover myself :)
