Symphony No. 94 "Surprise" by Joseph Haydn

Period: Classical

This piece has an instrumental timbre with a sweet, slow, and playful melody that involved a changing pitch range and maintained a short and light sound throughout the piece.  The harmony was sweet and playful with varied themes and featured major chords.  The dynamics were pretty much all over the place starting off with  P and the famous ff chord that everyone (insert sarcasm) loves so much.  It has a homophonic texture and a rhythm that starts off slow and seems to change to a faster pace.
