Stirling, Thanks for your awesome post on heterophony. You proivided
exactly the kind of theoretical base for what is going on that I was
seeking when I posed my question. I'm sure many others appreciated your
efforts as well.
You mentioned the key composers who exploited this style. If it's not too
much trouble could you recommend two or three specific pieces from them
that make significant (and discernable to the amateur ear) use of this.
Also, are there specific Haydn pieces that illustrate his grasp of what
would become a 19th century "fashion?"
Thanks
Ed
