The Haydn literature is almost entirely Continental. With the
exceptions of Pohl's article in Grove's "Dictionary of Music" and
Miss Townsend's "Haydn," nothing of real importance has appeared
in English. The following list does not profess to be complete.
It seems futile in a book of this kind to refer amateurs and
students to foreign works, many of which are out of print and
others generally inaccessible. For the benefit of English readers
the English works have been placed first and apart from the
Continental. It has not been thought necessary to follow Pohl in
giving a separate list of German and other Continental critiques.
His plan of citing works in the order of their publication has,
however, been adopted as being perhaps preferable to an
alphabetical order of writers.
