This composer wrote collections nicknamed “Russian” and “Sun” while employed by (10[1])the Esterházy court. It’s (-5[1])not Beethoven, but a piece by this composer nicknamed “Emperor” was (10[1])the basis for the national anthem (10[1])of Germany. This composer is credited with pioneering a chamber music genre where a cello and viola are joined by two violins.
