Question
A score of Joseph Haydn's first concerto for this instrument is marked "written while asleep" to indicate where he mistakenly switched two instruments' parts. For 10 points each:
[10h] Mozart's divertimento A Musical Joke is written for string quartet and two of what instrument?
ANSWER: French horn [or natural horn; or corno da caccia; accept horn in F or horn in D]
[10m] Only the best virtuosos of Haydn's time could play his first horn concerto because this technique, in which players fill in gaps in the harmonic series by moving their hand within the horn's bell, was not yet widespread.
ANSWER: hand-stopping [or word forms like stopped horn; accept gestopft or bouché; reject "muting" or "mute"]
[10e] Haydn's first horn concerto features many stopped notes in a movement with this slow tempo marking that also names a Samuel Barber piece "for strings."
ANSWER: adagio [accept Adagio for Strings]
