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. Joseph Haydn (10[1])(“HIGH-dun”) included a sudden G major chord in the second movement of his 94th piece of this (10[1])type, allegedly to wake up any sleeping audience members. (10[1])For 10 points, name these orchestral pieces that include Jupiter by Mozart (10[1])and (10[1])Farewell and Surprise (10[1])by Haydn. ■END■
