The Classical Style
• CLARITY
• REGULAR PHRASES
• CONTRAST BECOMES STRUCTURAL, EVEN NARRATIVE
• MOTIFIC RATHER THAN MELODIC
• MOTIFIC MATERIAL IS “WORKED OUT”

-- short motific ideas rather than long melodies
-- sonata form

Haydn
Don’t write this down:
104 symphonies
60 Piano sonatas
68 String quartets
25 Operas (10 lost)
Masses & oratorios
THE POINT: plenty of chances to experiment with form

Esterháza
A private laboratory for Haydn and his development of classical forms
- 30 years of support, isolated but not cut-off from the world . . . 2 operas & 2 concerts every week, almost daily chamber music, his own 25-member orchestra

A digression: the social status of the artist
Velasquez proudly wearing a mark of distinction
Haydn a (very glorified) servant
Beethoven fancied himself to be independent – an entrepreneur
