- Title
Deferral of a Cadentially Confirmed Tonic and Play with Changing Conventions in the First Movement of Haydn's F♯ Minor Piano Trio (Hob. XV:26).

- Abstract
In a Classical movement in sonata form the primary theme that opens the work almost invariably ends with a cadence in the tonic key, and this gesture both confirms the opening tonic and signals the conclusion of the primary theme. In the opening thematic unit of the first movement of Haydn's F♯ Minor Piano Trio (Hob. XV:26) there is no such cadence. This article addresses the formal and structural consequences of the deferral of the tonic's cadential confirmation. Furthermore, it relates, more generally, the devices encountered in the Piano Trio to other minor-mode works by Haydn, as well as to earlier repertoire and late eighteenth-century musical conventions.
