What was Haydn protesting in his "Farewell" symphony?

1 answer:

5 0

Haydn composed #45 with the intent to get his musicians at Esterhaza some much-deserved time-off to be with their wives. The "protest" would come in the symphony's finale, where the players would blow out their candles and leave, one at a time, until there were just two violinists left playing at the very end, Haydn and his first chair, Luigi Tomasini.

Answer:

4. Identification, description, and the interpretation of the content of images.

Explanation:

Iconography is literally translated to “image writing”, and as such, it studies interpretation of the content that is presented on the image or painting. It can describe what is on the image – the number of figures and items, placing, description, gestures – but it also classifies the elements and symbols that show up. It also explains various symbols and decodes them, and is, therefore, an important part of the semiotics.

Over the course of art history, part of iconography started focusing more on Christian art, its symbolism, and artistic expressions.
