Question

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 (10[2])in G major and cut time. This piece is sandwiched between ones nicknamed “Fifths” and “Sunrise” as part (10[1])of a (10[1])1797 collection written for József (-5[1])Erdődy (“AIR-der-dee”). A (10[1])melody (-5[1])in this piece is taken from a hymn written for Francis (10[1])II, (10[2])to which (10[2])August Heinrich Hoffmann (10[1])later added lyrics. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name this string quartet by Haydn that includes the melody of the German (-5[1])national anthem. ■END■ (10[4]0[2])

ANSWER: Emperor Quartet [or Kaiserquartett; or Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet No. 62; or Joseph Haydn’s Opus 76, No. 3; prompt on Joseph Haydn’s Opus 76; prompt on quartets until read; prompt on Erdődy quartets until “Erdődy” is read]
