Composer and genre required. The slow introduction of the first of these pieces opens with a cadence into the subdominant and only reaches the tonic in bar 4. A 3/4 fast movement in one of these pieces uses an oboe theme of [read slowly] seven B-flat quarter notes followed by an eighth-note descent from C to F. The recapitulation in one of these pieces is anticipated by a horn call that creates dissonance with the strings. A flute, oboe, and two clarinets imitate bird calls in a movement of one of these pieces titled “Scene by the brook.” The composer had to be turned to face the audience’s applause at the performance of the last of these pieces, which includes a setting of “Ode to Joy.” For 10 points, name these orchestral works that include ones nicknamed “Eroica” and “Choral.” ■END■
