Most of Haydn's piano sonatas are written for s to be performed in a quiet chamber setting and are of moderate techincal skills. the techiques of piano playing took a giant step forward since Beethoven through to Rachmaninoff and Prokovfiev for the greater part of the 19th century and the first half of the twentieth century.Haydn's piano sonatas do not pose much challenge to the 19th and 20th century pianists. This may be why they are rarely performed in concert hall.
