:-\ Shouldn't this be in the polling section of the forum?

Haydn should never be shunted off to that this obscure, hidden corner of the forum   :(

Almost by definition no spot where Haydn is to be found can be obscure or hidden.  (Although I grant that there are some corners of Haydn that are more obscure and hidden than others.)

Opus 64, with op. 64 no. 6 in E-flat being my favorite of that set.

My favorite of all?  I'd have to think about that...

Good man. It deserves a vote. I was tempted myself.

I voted for it because I love the Fuga Soggetti's (or Soggy Fugues, as I like to nickname them)  ;D

A nod for 20. Good to see. And now I have company at table #64! Waiter! An allegro for my friend here!
