Haydn's personal evaluation

Haydn's great contribution is to integrate all this into a style with credible logic and eternal vitality. This achievement made Haydn an equal peer and comrade-in-arms with Kant. Kraetzschmar called Haydn's style "one of the greatest achievements in the whole art history", which is true.

Haydn's symphonies are full of youthful and energetic rhythmic dance melodies. Its interleaving, dispersion and recombination, all of which are accomplished with superb counterpoint skills. In the end, such a process is almost no longer the result of a clever means, but a poetic dance according to the fantasy law, which permeates the skin of a truly optimistic life.
