Question
This piece’s third movement begins with an English horn playing the motif (read slowly) “F, G - long C, A -down to long C, D” before being echoed an octave higher by the oboe. The two harps called for in this piece are only used in its second movement waltz to depict the title event. A grotesque E-flat clarinet solo in this piece’s final movement precedes a statement of the “Dies irae.” Two pizzicato string notes represent the bouncing of the head in this piece’s fourth movement “March to the Scaffold.” This piece’s idée fixe represents its composer’s infatuation with the Irish actress Harriet Smithson. For 10 points, name this opium-fueled programmatic symphony by Hector Berlioz. ■END■
