Question
This type of ensemble violently saws away under three solo horn calls in the final measures of Prokofiev’s fifth symphony. Kurt Atterberg (“AH-ter-bare-yeh”) orchestrated a G major work originally for this ensemble by Johannes Brahms; that work begins with a lyrical allegro movement in a quick 3/4 (“three-four”) time. An earlier B-flat major work for this ensemble by Brahms uses an elegiac viola melody to begin its D minor theme-and-variations second movement. Richard Strauss (“REE-kart STROWSS”) unusually used a movement for this ensemble to begin his opera Capriccio (“kuh-PREE-chee-oh”). Repeated D half-notes in the cello and viola begin a work for this ensemble that the Vienna Music Society rejected due to its use of an inverted ninth chord; that piece for this ensemble is based on a Richard Dehmel poem. For 10 points, Arnold Schoenberg (“SHERN-berg”) wrote Transfigured Night for what ensemble that usually consists of two violins, two violas, and two cellos? ■END■
