I don’t know the answer to that–off-hand, I can’t think of another example, though I’m reasonably sure that there must be some others–but I am sure that this is the most famous example. How many symphonic works begin with an unaccompanied flute solo? (That could be a parlor game of its own, but perhaps one better suited to a blog where flutists hang out.) Here’s how the whole phrase makes its way to the dominant–and in the correct key: But it took Beethoven to ‘push’ the joke that bit further by placing that cadence in the ‘wrong key.’ (Or so, at least, I seem to recall reading sometime in the distant personal past.) Famously, one critic–no-one ever seems to say who, and perhaps the name has been lost over the years–called the symphony “a caricature of Haydn pushed to absurdity.” It’s easy to laugh at that now, but in fact the comment is not without insight: Haydn had in fact enjoyed the musical joke of beginning with a cadence–the musical equivalent of starting a sentence with a period. At the time, this beginning was the focus of some critical disapprobation “My dear, it begins with a perfect cadence upon the subdominant!” complained one aristocratic musical amateur. It’s the first chord of Beethoven’s Symphony #1 in C. If you’d like to play, do not wait, do not pass go, click on the link below to navigate back to Great Beginnings 1.
