How the music wouldn't end, but also how harsh the attacks are,
how dissonant the music is. One of the aristocrats that was
listening to this first performance, he said, "A Haydn symphony
would be over by now." I mean, it was just going on
forever for them. If I wrote a symphony an hour long,
it would be found short enough. If you fancy you can injure me,
you are very much mistaken. They were fascinated by the extremes
and by the bizarrerie of his music. That's a word they used a lot.
"It's bizarre what he's doing." And they love it
