Talk:Symphony No. 44 (Haydn)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The finale, like the first movement, is in sonata form and is dominated by a figure which opens the movement in unison. It is quite contrapuntal, and ends in E minor rather than finishing in a major key as was usual in most other minor key works of the time

Not really. With Haydn in this period it WAS usual for his symphonies in minor keys to finish in the minor: look at symphonies 26 (D minor), 39 (G minor), 49 (F minor) and 52 (C minor): they all finish in the minor.--Zeisseng 18:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
