In this period good clarinetists & virtuoso harpists lived at #Esterhazys Palaces, but apparently #Haydn disliked clarinet & harp! #Haydn didn't write anything for these instruments ca 1776! #Haydn only helped famous harpist #Krumpholtz in polishing his works!

#OratorioTobia
Despite success of #Tobia1775, #Haydn (after being blackmailed by VTS itself) had to refuse membership of #ViennaTonkünstlerSocietät, which commissioned #Tobia 1775! #Bonno #Starzer innocent! Man of envy & scarce music art guilty: #Salieri?

#Haydn MusicGenius reinventes #ItalianOperaComicStyle thru his own Art:
as #RobbinsWynJones pointed out, #Haydn keeps #Pergolesi structures (ie #Overture), but builds greater music for bigger band & adding Adagio:

#Haydn #MusicGenius demonstrates that #Haydn can manipulate #MusicForm to his own will with 1775 Symphony 67, formally one of the most important ever!
1mv written like a final, 4mv written like a 1mv, slow mv & minuet & finale full of strange music situations!

#OratorioTobia
Despite success of #Tobia1775, #Haydn (blackmailed by #ViennaTonkünstlerSocietät ) wrote an angry letter against #ViennaTonSoc & a man full of "envy"! Due to sources like #Carpani & others, that man may be #Salieri or a representative!
