If Mozart is the master of repetition, Does that make Haydn Master of Form and Theme and variations ?
If Mozart is the master of repetition, Does that make Haydn Master of Form and master of Theme and variations ?And What about Beethoven? Would you classify Beethoven as the pioneer of neoclassical or classical technique with hints of romanticism with the likes of Brahms?
Does Mozart like to use Simple Chord progressions ?How would you recognize and differentiate Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven in a sonata?
I find that a very broad and possibly inaccurate representation of Mozart if you had to boil it down to a single catchphrase or title. What’s your source for that?
I might be inclined to lean more towards your description of Haydn, especially when he could be so inventive with motives and the development of them throughout a given piece.
Watch out with your use of “neoclassic”– that’s about 150+ years AFTER Beethoven’s time and has nothing to do with him. He definitely “hints” as romanticism, but I wouldn’t compare Beethoven to Brahms, because if anything, you should compare Brahms TO Beethoven.
Beethoven could be thought of as stretching the boundaries of the sonata form in his symphonic works, for example, and he certainly pushed it to the limit harmonically speaking.
Calling Mozart’s chord progression “simple” seems almost derogatory to call it that, but I could just be over-sensitive. There’s a subjective purity to Mozart’s music; it’s clean and precise.
You kind of pose a lot of questions in your one question.
