PROBLEM: In one work of this composer, a "drinking chorus" is preceded by tone painting of the baying of hounds via double grace notes in the strings, trombones, and horns, which directly quote hunting calls. In another of his works, C minor is associated with the Vorstellung, and the keys of B-flat and E-flat are representative of humanity. His other religious works include his "Great Organ" Mass and the somewhat programmatic Mass in Distress and Mass in Time of War. His Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major written for Anton Weidiger was one of the few to be written for the keyed trumpet, and his Opus 20 group of six string quartets is commonly referred to as the "Sun" Quartets. His symphonies include one whose first movement's second theme in B-flat imitates a clucking of a chicken and one which instructs the musicians to leave as they complete their parts during the last movement. FTP, name this Austrian composer of the "Farewell" Symphony, the Paris Symphonies, and the London Symphonies, which include the "Surprise".

SOLUTION: Fine Arts

PROBLEM: Three of the islands in this group voted for independence in 1975, while Mayotte chose to remain a French dependency. Its first president was Ahmed Abdallah Abderrahman, who was assassinated in 1989. Its highest peak is Karthala, a still-active volcano on the largest island of this group. Other islands include Mwali and Nzwani, which were formerly known as Anjouan and Mohli. Located at the northern end of the Mozambique Channel, FTP, identify this island nation with capital at Moroni.

PROBLEM: He's not Jacque Louis-David (dah-VEED), but this man painted some men taking an oath by crossing their swords with a one-eyed Batavian chieftain in his The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis.

Other works by this painter of Belshazzar's Feast show a cadaver being cut open by Dr. Nicolaes Tulp and the shooting company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq. For 10 points, name this Dutchman who painted The Anatomy Lesson and The Night Watch.
