Question

The composer of this set of orchestral works swindled the publishers Artaria and Forster by selling exclusive rights to both companies. It is not known why the third of these works was nicknamed for the three-word Latin phrase that their composer (10[1])habitually wrote on the dedication page of his scores. The first of these works derives its nickname (-5[1])from the bagpipe-like drone on C in its finale. These are the most performed works premiered by a European conductor of African descent, who led a Masonic (10[1])orchestra called the Olympic Lodge; that conductor is Chevalier de Saint-Georges. (10[1])The second of these (10[1])symphonies (10[1]-5[1])derives its nickname from a dotted-rhythm oboe ostinato that sounds like clucking. (-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1])“The Bear” and (10[1]-5[1])“The Hen” (10[1]-5[1])are among (10[1])what (-5[1])group (-5[1])of six symphonies by Joseph Haydn, (-5[1])written the decade (-5[1])before (10[1]-5[1])his “London” (10[1])Symphonies? ■END■ (10[8]0[7])
