The violins make a tiny note on the 6th scale degree, the flutes make the same note very quietly an octave higher, then the bassoons expel some Bill Gates gas on the 4th scale degree, 3 octaves lower.

I expected the future to be dystopic, but not nearly half as dystopic as it has turned out to be.
oh the greenies will be protesting this one
What time marker get me close ?
The Hadyn symphonies are well worth exploring. For me, they conjure up images of sailing down the Thames in 18th Century period London. Lots of splendor and clear, blue skies all around.
Yes, I like Handel's Water Music for the same reasons.
Beethoven's Symphony no. 2, fourth movement. Listen to the piece of music first and identify its first phrase has a "hiccough." For yourself. Listen to the moments when things are "moving" along pretty smoothly and the interruptions of further "hiccoughs," and "burps." You can even hear the anxiety that comes before a troublesome bout with his intestines. It is truly storytelling in music at its finest AND its grossest!

Beethoven learned from Haydn!
Not really. Ludwig was a terrible student. He was quite dismissive of Haydn and never did the work assigned to him. He went as far as to submit previously completed compositions as proof to his conservators in Bonn to show how much he was learning from Haydn. The conservators smelled a rat and recalled Beethoven.
Beethoven did worship Bach though. He also admired Mozart and probably Haydn, as evidenced by some of his homages to both in his earlier works.
Louis then!
Austrians just love fart jokes...
