Haydn's music, save the Masses and vocal works seems to be more abstract than that of, say Beethoven or Mozart. It's a "purer" music. Perhaps I'm overgeneralizing. We hear dance rhythms, folk type song melodies, etc., but the focus is not so much on an individual's "struggle" or adventure as on music that's fun to listen to.Beethoven and Mozart, were of a "higher" order because they could personalize or "storyize" their music or could choose to stay abstract. The romantics among us are attracted to the stories. Old Rob loved this aspect. They also love the viscerality and the big climax. Orgasmatron? The classics among us predominantly love the form, ingenuity, balance, unity in diversity and all that stuff.
Personally, I'm more into the classical or Apollinian mode as compared to the Bacchanalian or romantic mode.
Haydn's close to the greatest Apollinians, like I said.
Oh yes, his piano quartets are not to be missed by anyone who has an attraction to this music. Beaux Arts Trio.
