"(...) The modern type of postbaroque symphony probably arouse from those formations. It is represented by compositions of musicians of Manheim School. (...) Jan Václav Stamic and Frantisek Xaver Richter established a worldwide famousness of the Manheim Ensemble and created a structural prototype of the symphony or of the orchestral music as whole. This model arisen through an evolution has found its more or less known followers all over the world. The principles of the mdern symphony have been founded this way. (...) Vienna classicism represented by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven is based on principles created by composers and performers of the Manheim School. (...)"
