The Piano Sonata in B-flat Major, Hob. XVI/17, is a composition that was originally attributed to Joseph Haydn, but is now considered to have been written by an unknown composer.[1]

History

The composition was discovered in Raigern Abbey, located in Brno, Czech Republic, by G. Feder.[1] The work appears to be the product of a Seguace and not Joseph Haydn.[1] The manuscript containing the composition is now housed in the Leoš Janáček Museum in Brno, Czech Republic.[1]

Structure

The Sonata is in three movements:

  1. Allegro
  2. Andante
  3. Allegro
