Classical vs. Romantic

I disagree with the classification in the summary of this as a Classical symphony. Allmusic.com says it is a Romantic symphony, and I should agree because it sounds more like from the Romantic era than the Classical era. The symphonies of CPE Bach sound much closer to those of Haydn and Mozart than Beethoven. Therefore those should be considered classical. Marcus2 23:47, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. It's really quite a stretch to call this particular symphony, which echoes throughout with memories of Haydn and Mozart, "Romantic". However, given that the "Classical" label is causing trouble, I've replaced it with "in all of Beethoven's works". Please don't continue the revert war. Opus33 00:23, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't Beethoven's death the begining of the Romantic period? The symphony sounds more classical than Romantic for sure. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Justin Tokke (talk • contribs) 01:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]
