A crucial category across all the arts in the late eighteenth
century, the picturesque has lost its currency in modern musical
criticism, in spite of its rich potential to shed new light on the
fantastical elements of instrumental music in general and the genre
of the free fantasia in particular. Just as English garden
architecture, in which the picturesque found its origins, was
changing the landscape of continental Europe, the fantastical
elements of irregularity, temporal displacement, ambiguity,
interruption, and self-referentiality in the music of Bach, Haydn
and Beethoven were both lauded and criticized in terms borrowed
from the discourse of the picturesque. This study reaffirms the
centrality of the free fantasia and fantastical gesture in late
eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century musical culture through an
interdisciplinary approach that combines the visual, the literary
and the musical.
