[edit] Sturm und Drang

Whether the Haydn or Mozart symphonies in question were part of the Sturm und Drang (mainly literary) movement in any meaningful way is at best something that's been brought up for discussion and debate as a weak analogy (at worst dubious). Not even a coincidence of time as with Baroque music/Baroque architecture (which are otherwise dissimilar except for being around at the same time), just sharing certain features but lacking too many others, but the features shared caused the analogy to be raised, I gather. (In Haydn's case see Mark Evan Bonds, "Haydn's 'Cours complet de la composition' and the Sturm und Drang" in the book Haydn Studies, W.

That's what everyone calls these chiefly minor-key works from ~1765-1775 (dates approximate). See the Sturm und Drang article which has literary and musical sections to it. Any discussion of the strength of the link between the literary & musical movements would fit well in that article.DavidRF (talk) 23:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
