Round 6: 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 [read slowly] C, D, F, E. An F sharp minor piece of this type ends with musicians blowing out their candles and leaving the stage. (10[3])Joseph Haydn (“HIGH-dun”) included a sudden G major chord in the second movement (10[1])of his 94th piece of this type, allegedly to wake up any sleeping audience members. For 10 points, name these orchestral pieces that include Jupiter by Mozart and Farewell and Surprise by Haydn. ■END■
