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 (10[2])and leaving (10[2])the (10[1])stage. (10[1])Joseph (10[2])Haydn (10[1])(“HIGH-dun”) included a sudden G major chord in the second movement (10[1])of his (10[1])94th piece of this type, allegedly (10[1])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■
