Haydn's Farewell Symphony

The littlest ladybug just learned about Haydn's "Farewell" Symphony. The story goes that while Haydn was Count Nicholas Esterhazy's court composer, the Count would have the members of the orchestra stay on his estate all summer, then release them to go to their homes in the fall. One season, Count Nicholas was enjoying himself at the estate so much, he didn't want to leave and he wouldn't release the orchestra. Naturally, the musicians were getting a wee bit antsy to go home by October. So Haydn gave his employer a subtle hint.

The members of the orchestra gathered as usual for an evening performance. Part way through, one of the fourteen performers blew out his candle, took his instrument and left. The performers continued blowing out their candles and leaving at intervals until only two musicians were left. The count took the hint and released the orchestra the next day.

We found a performance of the "Farewell" Symphony on YouTube and watched it. That inspired the littlest lady bug to give her own performance of the Farewell Symphony.
Behold the orchestra:

And behold the second Haydn in action:

She deputized her older sister to remove members of the orchestra on her signal until she was left with two:

A good time was had by all.
