Round 1: 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 around the notes (10[1])[read slowly] C, D, F, E. An F sharp minor piece of this type ends with musicians blowing out their candles (10[1])and leaving the stage. (10[2])Joseph Haydn (“HIGH-dun”) included a sudden G major chord (10[1])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 (10[1])Surprise by Haydn. ■END■ (10[2]0[1])
