A Capricious Aspect of a Haydn Quartet: Parallels Linking Musical Phrasing to Italian Poetic Theory
Abstract
Haydn’s Quartet op. 9, no.6, illustrates the application of poetic conventions to music. Viewed as a Capriccio, movement 1 discloses a labyrinthine rhythmic structure both didactic and amusing. A table of musical rhythms and inventory of musical phrase types supplement analyses.
