The Symphonies of Johann Michael Haydn: A Chronological Perspective Using Theories of Joseph Riepel and Heinrich Christoph Koch
By an extrapolation of eighteenth-century theories of melody, this study was able to accomplish a more precise application of eighteenth-century musical thinking as shown in a large body of work by one composer. The application of these theories meets the challenge as a useful and reliably pedagogical guide to the music of their time as alternatives to the theories of the last two centuries, which were foreign to eighteenth-century thinking. Joseph Riepel's and Heinrich Christoph Koch's theories have a historical relevance to the study of music of Michael Haydn and his eighteenth-century contemporaries.
