Key of Mozart's Symphony No. 6: Abbr.

Answer:

FMAJ

Hint:

This symphony, nicknamed "Little" to distinguish it from his later works, shares its bright, uplifting key with Haydn’s "London" Symphony No. 104.

Explanation:

This clue asks for the abbreviated musical key of Mozart’s Symphony No. 6, which is in F major. "Abbr." signals that the answer should be shortened, so "F major" becomes "FMAJ" (using standard musical notation). No wordplay here—just a direct reference to classical music terminology.
