Rondo by Haydn- first blog!

Franz Joseph Haydn, the composer of the Flute solo Rondo, was born 1732 and died in 1809. He is still well known for his amazing symphonies and especially the string quartet. Haydn was a very public composer and was always surrounded with admirers. He is a classical composer, which means he used classical traits in his music, such as detached eighth notes, such as in the rondo. Within the Rondo there is classical style , in which the performer should pay close attention to.
The Rondo (flute solo) includes many different articulations, such as staccatos and slurs, as well as sfz which is an abbreviation for sforzando. Sforzando is a sudden very strong accent within a piece, commonly used by classical composers, such as Haydn. The flute solo begins in p meaning softly and the by bar 19 is into mf meaning moderately loud. By bar 23, it is not f meaning loud. Also at bars 27 and 31 there is sfz. The final bar (40) has a decrescendo sign to gradually get softer in that bar. The tempo for the piece is marked Allegro with a quarter note equaling 96. The piece has a D.S al Fine at the end meaning Dal Segno, which allows the player to got back to the sign, which looks like a fancy S and play until you see the word Fine, meaning the end. There is also a repeat at bar 13, to go back to the begining and repeat once, but the player is not supposed to play the repea, when they go back to the sign due to D.S al Fine. Since the time signature is 2/4 time, indicating that there are 2 quarter notes per measure. There are many different rhythms within the pice, such as eighth notes, sixteenth notes, dotted quarter notes with an eighth note and also half notes. The notes in the Rondo are mainly moving step wise, not skipping notes, or if there is there is only an interval of a 3rd or 4th.There is no key signatre for the Rondo, but throughout the piece there are Bb and eventually g #, f# and d#. I think the key goes from C+ to Bb + to a- (due to the g# because it the raised seventh) and then to e- ( due to the f# being in its key and the d# being it's raised seventh).
I think this piece will be challenging to play on the flute, but with some practice, I think i can do it.
