Question
Stephen Hough (“huff”) argued that a piano concerto by this composer has an erroneous F in the flute part after he found an edit in blue pencil in a manuscript. In an operatic aria by this composer, the soprano questions if her love interest is a “guardian angel” or “cruel tempter,” sung to a descending scale motif sometimes called the “confession of love.” A tenor sings “Where, where have you gone, golden days” in that opera, whose third act opens with a (*) Polonaise. The second movement of his first piano concerto opens at a tempo of andantino semplice (sem-PLEE-cheh) in D-flat major, while the first movement opens with the horns blaring out the motif [read slowly] “F, D-flat, C, B-flat.” For 10 points, name this composer of a Piano Concerto in B-Flat Minor, who wrote the “Letter Scene” for his opera Eugene Onegin. ■END■
