Haydn's impropriety. Waltham-Smith, N. Journal of Music Theory, 62(1):119–144, 2018.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Haydn is known for his playful (mis)use of cadential formulas. Examining examples of this predilection and processes of cadential liquidation, this article develops a theory of the use of musical material. This entails a deconstruction of the Adornian dialectic between generic convention and particular expression and-following Jacques Derrida's notion of exappropriation-between proper and improper, and propriety and impropriety.
