Haydn's incorporation of a pantomime into the finale of the 'Farewell' Symphony constitutes as radical a violation of generic expectations as Beethoven's introduction of a chorus in the Ninth symphony, yet until now no one has analyzed this pantomime or decoded its meanings. The reception history of this piece suggests a paradoxical mixture of heightened historical recollection with a sort of willed amnesia. Haydnova vključitev pantomime v finale Simfonije slovesa predstavlja radikalno kršitev splošnih pričakovanj, podobno kot Beethovnova uvedba zbora v IX. simfonijo, pa vendar ni še nobeden analiziral te pantomime ali dekodiral njenih pomenov. Zgodovina recepcije te skladbe vsiljuje misel o paradoksalni mešanici stopnjevanja zgodovinskega spominjanja in nekakšne hotene amnezije.
