About "Piano Sonata in E flat, H.XVI No. 49 : Haydn: Piano Sonata in E flat, H.XVI No. 49: 2. Adagio e cantabile" by Alfred Brendel

Adagio e cantabile floats like incense in a still room. Brendel lets Haydn's melody breathe with operatic grace, each note a pearl dropped into clear water. The calm is almost too perfect—a porcelain surface that, if tapped, might reveal a hairline crack of melancholy beneath.
