Lachner, I. Op. 96, 97 and 98. Sonatinas in A, D and B♭. (5621-2-3).

There is an air of brightness and humour in these sonatinas which reminds one of Haydn and Mozart. Without making great demands upon the technique of the player, the sonatinas are brilliant and diversified, and although they chiefly appeal to the young they are never childish. Op. 98 with its charming “Rococo” colouring is sure to make friends upon acquaintance.
