Question
A composer from this modern-day country was inspired by a hiking trip to compose “Slow Movement” for string quartet in E-flat major. A set of Five Pieces for Orchestra was written by both that composer from this country and his teacher, who wrote a string sextet based on a poem by Richard Dehmel. A piece from this country originated a namesake ensemble of five instruments and calls for a technique of “spoken voice,” or Sprechstimme (SPREK-stim-muh). Transfigured Night and Pierrot lunaire are by a composer from this country who developed the twelve-tone technique. For 10 points, name this country of Anton Webern and Arnold Schoenberg, members of the Second Viennese School. ■END■
