Sections of Haydn's piano sonatas chosen for study have been analyzed to determine the composer's technique in modulation and the key schemes resulting from these modulations, and to discover the consistent patterns and exceptional patterns in these sonata movements as a group. As revealed in this analysis, Haydn is consistent in that the key scheme patterns of several development sections are identical. Also modulations, as categorized according to key relationships, are often accomplished by the same or similar procedures. However, there are important and interesting exceptions to these consistent practices which add variety and seem to contribute to Haydn's growth as a composer

The tonal organization of the first-movement development sections of ten Haydn symphonies (nos. 1, 4, 6, 10, 13, 15, 19, 24, 31 and 72), all in D major composed between 1758 and 1765, is directly linked to eighteenth-century theories of modulation. The recent theoretical or musicological literature, with the exception of H. C. Robbins Landon's Haydn: Chronical and Works (1976--1980), has concentrated on Haydn's later high classical style generally ignoring these earlier works composed during his largely self-didactic, most formative years. After evaluating the analytical procedures established by Webster (1991), Wheelock (1992), Sisman (1993) and Haimo (1995) in chapter one, chapter two reviews tonal theories of some eighteenth-century writers. Chapter three presents analytical observations on the Morzin Symphonies (nos. 1, 15, 4, 10). Chapter four extends the discussion of chapter two and focuses on theoretical concepts that determine rank ordering of scale-steps in relation to the tonic. Chapter five focuses on tonal procedures employed in the developments of early Esterhazy symphonies (nos. 6, 13, 72, 24, 31) all of which feature cadentially-confirmed tonicizations of scale-step vi paired with recapitulatory from the main theme.

In 1909, the Revue musicale mensuelle de la Societe lnternationale de Musique (RSIM) asked six French composers (Debussy, Dukas, Hahn, d’Indy, Ravel and Wid or) to commemorate Haydn’s centennial anniversary of death by each creating a piano piece that incorporated a theme built with a letter-note correspondence on the word “Haydn”. In the context of the French fin-de-siecle search for musical identity, this collective tombeau represents a unique opportunity to discover what characteristics were important to them. My analysis of the pieces reveals five common elements: enharmonic reinterpretation as a means of exploration of foreign keys, large scale registral connections, dissonant chords for colour, ingenious means of creating unity, and use of past genres and form. The influence of Italian and German culture, as well as French music history and politics are also evaluated. The tom beaux reveal how central the concept of the music of the past was to French composers at the tum of the century and how it pointed the way to post-war neoclassicism. / En 1909, la Revue musicale mensuelle de la Société Internationale de Musique (RSIM) demanda à six compositeurs français (Debussy, Dukas, Hahn, d’Indy, Ravel et Widor) d’écrire chacun une pièce pour piano dans le but de commémorer le centième anniversaire de la mort d’Haydn. Leurs pièces devaient incorporer un thème imposé bâti via une correspondance entre des notes et les lettres du mot “Haydn”. Dans le contexte de la quête d’identité des Français de la fin du 1ge siècle, ce tombeau collectif représente une occasion unique de découvrir quelles caractéristiques musicales leur étaient importantes. L’analyse de ces pièces a permis d’isoler cinq éléments communs: réinterprétation enharmonique comme moyen d’exploration de tons éloignés, liaison de registres à grande échelle, utilisation d’accords dissonants dans le but d’obtenir une certaine couleur, moyens ingénieux de créer l’unité et usage de formes et de genres issus du passé. L’influence des cultures allemande et italienne ainsi que celle de l’histoire musicale de la France et de sa politique sont également évaluées. Les tombeaux révèlent l’importance qu’occupe la musique du passé pour les compositeurs français au tournant du 20e siècle et comment cette musique prépare l’avènement du néoclassicisme d’après-guerre.

From Introduction: In the middle of the eighteenth century, when Haydn began composing his first string quartets, violin writing was highly advanced and the violin an established solo instrument, its supremacy already firmly endorsed by the Italian Violin Schools of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The pace of development of the cello, however, was not comparable to that of the violin, despite the fact that the first cello known to us was made in 1572.

Para isto, selecionamos críticas de jornais e revistas do século XVIII que discorrem sobre esses aspectos da produção haydniana. No sentido de possibilitar a melhor compreensão do sentido setecentista desses termos, é necessário tratar também de outros conceitos relacionados a eles: a idéia de cômico e as visões setecentistas sobre o riso. Estas informações estão contidas em obras teóricas sobre as artes do século XVIII, como a enciclopédia sobre as artes de Sulzer (1771-74) e a estética musical de Schubart (1784). A recuperação destas noções é utilizada para obter uma melhor compreensão das críticas escritas a Haydn em sua própria época. Elas apresentam visões negativas ou positivas de Haydn, e, com os fundamentos teóricos, é possível atribuir seus conteúdos a premissas conservadoras, de orientação retórica, ou que seguiam as tendências da disciplina então recém surgida, a estética. Assim, as críticas a Haydn permitem criar subsídios para estudar o humor e a agudeza em obras que indubitavelmente representam o estilo maduro destes compositor: os quartetos de cordas op. 33 (1781) / Abstract: This investigation proposes a study of the theoretical context that involves the works of Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), concentrating in the ideas of humor and wit [Witz]. This ideas have been related to the music of Haydn since his own time. Therefore, we selected some eighteenth century journal and magazine critics that involves these aspects of his production. In order to have a better comprehension of the eighteenth century meaning of these concepts, it is necessary to handle also other related notions: the idea of comic and the Eighteenth-Century visions about laughter, contained in works like the arts encyclopedia by Sulzer (1771-74) and the music aesthetic by Schubart (1784). These notions enables us to have a better comprehension of the eighteenth century critics involving the music of Haydn. They contain negative or positive visions about his music, and it is possible to attribute this visions to conservative, rhetorically oriented, or to aesthetic (then a recently created discipline) premises. These critics allow us to create subsidies to observe how humor and wit occur in works that undoubtedly represent Haydn¿s mature style: the string quartets op. 33 (1781) / Doutorado / Doutor em Música
