Symphony No. 94 in G “surprise” The music piece that I listened to was Symphony No. 94 in G “Surprise” by Joseph Hayden.

Nego! ...Joy follows sorrow‚ sunshine—rain.[25] The triumphant and exhilarating finale is written in an unusual variant of sonata form: at the end of the development section‚ the music halts on a dominant cadence‚ played
