Call them levels, types, modes, or what have you of seriousness, Aiwendil, it's the differences in seriousness between which I was trying to distinguish.

Good to hear from you again, Kuruharan. I must insist, though, that the classical/roccocco style of composition used by Haydn and Mozart was quite strictly formalized, largely based in dance. The singularity of the music of these two composers was in the refinement Mozart brought to the style, and the profundity Haydn did. Too bad this whole composer thing is just for illustrating a point. Anybody know a good site to discuss it?

Halfir, I heartily concur with each of the assertions you made. Including Jung.
