A movement of a work in this genre, scored for only strings, paraphrases Bach’s Minuet in G into a limping 7/4 (“seven-four”) waltz. Movements such as “Turkey Trot” and “Sennets and Tuckets” are found in that work in this genre by Leonard Bernstein. This title was retroactively given to three early, light, three-movement quartets by Mozart that are also known as the “Salzburg sinfonias.” A series of Swiss dances is included in a work of this type for violin and piano, which Igor Stravinsky extracted from his ballet The Fairy’s Kiss. The descending unison half-note melody “E-flat B-flat G E-flat” begins a six-movement E-flat major work in this genre that was first work written for string trio. A series of cluster chords ends a Mozart work in this genre riddled with satirical compositional mistakes. For 10 points, Mozart’s A Musical Joke is a work in what light multi-movement genre that takes its name from an Italian word for “to amuse”? ■END■
