Each had a distinctive artistic personality, invented an aspect of the symphony, and left behind a wealth of music which can be enjoyed on its own terms. The watchword, evolution, is often associated with a story of style culminating in the symphonies of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Evolutionary stories are both necessary and problematic. Two unavoidable ones for the early symphony are: periodicity and cyclicity. It is important, however, not to confuse periodic symmetry and cyclic unity with stylistic coherence as such. |
