The development of this piece’s first movement ends with the viola and the cello alternating droning forzando “E–B” fifths for ten bars. This piece’s slow movement begins its last variation by restating the theme but harmonized in the relative key, E minor, rather than the expected parallel key. This C-major piece begins with an eighth-note G, a quarter-note E, and then the staccato notes “F, D, C.” This piece’s second movement is a set of four variations on a 20-bar theme in G major and cut time. This piece is sandwiched between ones nicknamed “Fifths” and “Sunrise” as part of a 1797 collection written for József Erdődy (“AIR-der-dee”). A melody in this piece is taken from a hymn written for Francis II, to which August Heinrich Hoffmann later added lyrics. For 10 points, name this string quartet by Haydn that includes the melody of the German national anthem. ■END■
