the “Erdődy” Quartets - 2025 NAFTA

Packet 4: Bonus 6

Youtuber Richard Atkinson nicknamed the first quartet in this collection “Jack-in-the-box” since its finale interrupts a tranquil inversion of its first theme with a loud G major scale. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this collection by Franz Joseph Haydn that includes string quartets nicknamed “Sunrise,” “Fifths,” and “Emperor.”

ANSWER: the “Erdődy” Quartets [or opus 76; or Hob. III:75-80]

[10e] Contrary to popular belief, this Haydn symphony’s common nickname doesn’t refer to a similar joke in which a loud G major chord interrupts its slow, quiet melody, “C, C, E, E, G, G, E.”

ANSWER: “Surprise” Symphony [or Symphony mit dem Paukenschlag; or Symphony No. 94; or Hob. I/94] (The nickname actually refers to Haydn’s goal of “surprising” London concertgoers with a more innovative symphony than those of his student, Ignaz Pleyel.)

[10h] Haydn pulls the reverse of that joke in the finale of this symphony whose loud opening is paused so the violins can retune their G strings. This six-movement symphony shares its nickname with a play by Jean-François Regnard.

ANSWER: “Il Distratto” [or “Der Zerstreute”; or Symphony No. 60; or Hob. I/60]
