Could you list some of those reasons?
Well, the main reason imo is that the change from Baroque to Viennese
Classical was more radical than any other up to that time. It was almost
a new beginning. We hear preclassical music through the Mozart
tradition, and it seems simpler. They heard it having never heard a
piece of classical music, for them it was radical, new, revolutionary.
The full potential of the new music is only seen in real Viennese
classical music, but every note of the post-baroque is directly pointing
into that direction.
If you really want to know what I think about this, buy our Stamitz or
Haydn CDs (or both) and read the liner notes, I have thought about this
a lot. Both CDs liner notes approach this from a different angle.
