Packet 11: Tossup 22

This piece segues (“segways”) into its 3/4 finale as three trombones blast the melody “pickup E - long high A, E - F-sharp - C-sharp.” The horn chorale that opens this piece’s 3/8 second movement begins with the melody “rest, F, G, long A”; that movement uses extensive mode mixture and is titled “Variazioni.” This piece’s fourth movement begins with a militaristic cadenza for horns and trumpets over a snare drum roll, then four other cadenzas. This piece’s first and third movements are both about one minute long and are (*) identical except for their key and instrumentation—the first features solo clarinet and the third features solo violin. This piece’s five movements include “Scena e canto gitano” (“SHAY-nuh e canto jee-TAH-no”), “Fandango Asturiano,” and two (10[1])Alboradas. (-5[1])For 10 (10[1])points, name this piece by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (10[2])inspired by Spanish music. ■END■ (10[1])
