Round 2: Tossup 19

A G minor piece of this type includes a dotted oboe passage in its second movement representing an animal’s jerky head movements, and is part of a set of six premiered by conductor Chevalier de Saint-Georges (“san-ZHORZH”). The final movement of one piece of this type features a five-part fugato centred (10[1])around the notes [read slowly] C, D, F, E. An F sharp minor piece of this type ends with musicians blowing out their candles (10[3])and leaving the stage. (10[3])Joseph Haydn (-5[1])(“HIGH-dun”) included (10[1])a sudden G major chord in the second movement of his 94th piece of this type, allegedly to wake up any sleeping audience (10[1])members. For 10 points, name these orchestral pieces that include Jupiter by Mozart and Farewell and Surprise by Haydn. ■END■
