Question

This composer responded to an official reprimand by writing several baryton trios for a prince to perform. A melody beginning (read slowly) “long G, short A, B, A” appears in the Poco adagio second movement of a piece by this composer dedicated to Count Erdödy. This composer wrote collections nicknamed “Russian” and “Sun” while employed by the (10[2])Esterházy court. It’s not Beethoven, but a piece by this composer (-5[1])nicknamed “Emperor” was (-5[1])the basis for the national anthem of Germany. This composer is credited with pioneering a chamber music genre where a cello (10[1])and viola are joined by two violins. For (10[1])10 points, name this (-5[2])Austrian “father of the (10[1])string (10[1]0[4])quartet.” ■END■
