Symphony No. 94 in G major, known as the "Surprise Symphony," by Joseph Haydn consists of four movements. The first movement is marked "Adagio – Allegro," featuring a slow introduction followed by a lively and energetic allegro. The second movement, marked "Andante," is characterized by its gentle theme and the famous sudden loud chord, which is the "surprise." The third movement, "Menuetto – Trio," is a stately minuet followed by a contrasting trio section, while the final movement, "Allegro di molto," is a fast-paced and cheerful conclusion.
