Delete. An orphaned, unfinished, unreferenced article that has dubious merit for WP even if it were finished. It has been in fairly much the same unfinished state since 2006. The Wikilawyers around here will say that very little in this nom that are grounds for deletion but would argue that deleting the article improves WP in an incremental manner. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:52, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete So lacking in content that it qualifies as a test page. 90% of the text is just headers. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:11, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- it's a valid topic for an essay, for research -- original research -- but how would you possibly provide cites for such a thing? Possibly a good senior thesis topic for a music theory student; relate them to prevalent practice, and show in what way they were innovative. Antandrus (talk) 00:51, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even the section that did get written seems very unhelpful -- it consists of the author's intuitive response to the Mozart 3rd violin concerto, with no reference sources, no reference to sonata form or any other elements of music theory. I can't imagine this ever becoming a useful article. Opus33 (talk) 00:52, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this abandoned essay article without prejudice. Huge field of potential study, of course, but a tiny part of Mozart's technique. I expect references for the topic exist - I bet a number of theses have been written just about the modulations that border atonality in the development section of the Jupiter Symphony's first movement. By analogy with other hypothetical articles (for instance Irony in the novels of Jane Austen, Humour in Shakespeare, Use of colour in the paintings of J. M. W. Turner, Keats' rhymes and Depth of field in the work of Man Ray): if an expert wanted to write them, and sourced them adequately, that would be fine by me. They might even be interesting! For now though, the topic is perhaps better covered by discussion in articles about specific works, and in Mozart summary articles. --RobertG ♬ talk 11:13, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
