This volume offers a new view of Joseph Haydn's instrumental music. It argues that many of Haydn's greatest and most characteristic instrumental works are 'through-composed', in the sense that their several movements are bound together into a cycle. Central to this study is an analysis of the 'Farewell' Symphony, No. 45 in F sharp minor (1772).
