Question
A cello concerto in this key begins with a quiet dotted pickup for horns and violas. Haydn used this key for a symphony whose fourth-movement cembalo (“CHEM-buh-loh”) solo was likely written for himself. Mozart used this key for a seven-movement piece for 12 winds and double bass, his Tenth Serenade. This is the key of a cello concerto whose slow movement was posthumously replaced with passages from three of its composer’s other cello concertos. This is the key of Haydn’s Symphony No. 98, Mozart’s Gran Partita, and a cello concerto arranged by Friedrich Grützmacher (“GROOTS-mah-ker”), Boccherini’s Ninth. This major key’s tonic is the most common note in which trumpets and clarinets are pitched. Classical pieces in this key often tune the timpani to F, which is this key’s dominant. For 10 points, name this major key with two flats. ■END■
