traditionally associated with the literary movement known as Sturm und Drang.
2. Symphony No. 45 represents Sturm und Drang in several ways ("The Farewell Symphony").
a. The key of F# minor is unique among works from this period.
b. The mood is not light and airy, but mysterious.
c. The final movement has a strange form, and it is famous for having the
instrumentalists drop out.
3. That Haydn could communicate with his prince through instrumental music signals a
new conception of the medium.

Sturm und Drang: a literary and artistic movement in Germany in the late 18th century, influenced by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and characterized by the expression of emotional unrest and a rejection of neoclassical literary norms.
