Riddle Me This
What do the following four musical pieces have in common?
1. "String Quartet in C major ("Emperor"), No. 3, 2nd Movement", and
2. the pre-WWI Austrian National Anthem, and
3. the Christian hymns such as,"Word of God, Across the Sea" or
4. "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken"
Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are based the first piece. It, in turn, was written by Franz Josef Haydn.
Today, 31 March, is Haydn's 273rd birthday.
