About "Haydn: Keyboard Concerto in G Major, Hob. XVIII:4: III. Rondo. Presto" by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli

The Rondo. Presto is a chase—Haydn’s theme darting like a hare through hedgerows. Michelangeli keeps the tempo tight, almost breathless, but never frantic. There’s joy here, but edged with precision: a clockwork dance that threatens to spin off its axis. Delightful unease.
