There is a mistake. The theme by Haydn does not exist. When Dave Brubeck composed "Three to get ready" it was a tribute to Haydn. Some people thought he composed from a theme, but it's not true. (Sorry for my bad English !).

Franz Joseph Haydn
Franz Joseph Haydn was born on March 31, 1732 in Rohrau, Austria. He died on May 31, 1809 in Vienna Austria. Haydn was friends with Mozart. He composed 104 symphonies. The genre was classical in the 17th century.
Haydn composed the Surprise Symphony in 1791 for a concert series he was giving in London. His purpose in writing it was to contain "jokes" and keep the audience interested.
One of Franz Joseph Haydn's most celebrated compositions is the "Symphony No. 94 in G Major," commonly known as the "Surprise Symphony." Premiered in 1792, it features a sudden loud chord in the slow movement that jolts listeners, creating an element of surprise. This symphony, along with others like the "Creation," showcases Haydn's innovative approach to orchestration and his ability to blend humor with profound musical expression. Haydn is often referred to as the "Father of the Symphony" for his significant contributions to the genre.
