This is one of my favorite pieces of music. My favorite music is in the
Overture:Representation of Chaos. After squirming around in some highly
chromatic music, Haydn arrives at the text "And there was light". Check
out the C major chord on the word "light" - I don't think C major has
ever been more hair-raising. Great piece.

p.s. great clarinet solos throughout, too.
