Explanation:

Analyze Mozart's sister

Using the Mozart Biography knowledge point

• Maria Anna Mozart (Nannerl) was a highly talented keyboard player.
• She toured Europe with her brother Wolfgang as a child prodigy.
• Therefore, she was an accomplished pianist at a young age.

Analyze Haydn's audience reception

Using the Haydn Biography knowledge point

• During his visits to London in the 1790s, the French Revolution was underway.
• Some critics and audience members interpreted the dramatic, democratic, and grand nature of his late symphonies as reflecting the social ideals of the French Revolution.

Analyze Classical orchestras

• Orchestras in the late 18th century (Haydn's time) typically had 25 to 40 players.
• Modern orchestras often have 80 to 100+ players.
• Thus, they were relatively small by modern standards.

Analyze late 18th-century trends
