In the first and third movements, Haydn explores "ambiguities of tonality ... which eventually reach their peak of subtlety" in the first movement of Symphony No. 94. [2] The first movement begins "with an unusual and exciting pedal point ... [and] uses a subsidiary subject that appears like a cordial greeting to the newly won friend Mozart." [3] The pedals and dissonances point to Mozart's K. 465. [4]
The second movement is a siciliano theme with three variations. [5] The variations are for the most part strophic and straightforward with the exception of a minor-key interlude in the center of the movement between the first and second variations. The final variation contains the fullest orchestration with pizzicato accompaniment and serves to recapitulate the movement. [6]
