He wrote a string quartet in E-flat that derives its nickname from the starting and stopping at the end of its rondo finale, so that listeners don't realize when the piece actually finishes.
He wrote a string quartet in E-flat that derives its nickname from the starting and stopping at the end of its rondo finale, so that listeners don't realize when the piece actually finishes. In addition to the string quartet "The Joke," he wrote a choral work whose overture depicts Chaos. That piece also features a sudden C major chord on the words "and there was light." In one of his symphonies, a quiet C-major theme is punctuated by a sudden fortissimo chord in the whole orchestra, including timpani. For 10 points, name this Austrian composer of The Creation and the "Surprise" Symphony, sometimes called the "Father of the Symphony."
