Haydn's 'Farewell' Symphony and the Idea of Classical Style: Through-Composition and Cyclic Integration in his Instrumental Music (Cambridge Studies in Music Theory and Analysis)

This volume offers a new view of Joseph Haydn's instrumental music. It argues that many of Haydn's greatest and most characteristic instrumental works are 'through-composed', in the sense that their several movements are bound together into a cycle. Central to this study is an analysis of the 'Farewell' Symphony, No. 45 in F sharp minor (1772).James Webster is the author of 'Haydn's 'Farewell' Symphony and the Idea of Classical Style: Through-Composition and Cyclic Integration in his Instrumental Music (Cambridge Studies in Music Theory and Analysis)', published 1991 under ISBN 9780521385206 and ISBN 0521385202.
