Explanation:

Analyze concert halls in Mozart's time

In the late eighteenth century, public concerts became increasingly popular. However, dedicated public concert halls were much smaller than the massive, acoustically engineered halls of the modern era. They were often rooms in palaces, taverns, or relatively small assembly rooms, rather than outdoor amphitheaters or repurposed cathedrals. Public concerts did exist, so they were not nonexistent. Thus, they were much smaller than modern concert halls.

Analyze concert manners in Haydn's time

Concert etiquette in the Classical period was vastly different from the quiet, reverent atmosphere of modern classical performances. Audiences in Haydn's time frequently talked, ate, drank, and openly expressed their approval or disapproval during the music, clapping between movements or even during a piece. This lively, interactive environment is often compared to the atmosphere of a modern rock concert rather than a sacred, church-like setting.
