The early keyboard sonatas by Haydn exhibit a common (for the times) but different structure of the first movement. Having two sections with repeats exhibiting a holdover from the Baroque era. As development sections got bigger, the repeats became less frequent. From notes by Richard Wigmore "The early sonata No 1 is in three brief movements, with a final minuet enclosing a minor-keyed trio—a pattern found in many sonatas by Wagenseil and other mid-eighteenth-century Viennese composers. Some scholars have questioned Haydn’s authorship of this modestly charming work." As I have stated with other Haydn arrangements, I believe much more moderate tempos than those taken by pianists show the true beauty of his sonatas and also make them eminently playable by guitarists.
