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” (-5[1])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 (10[1])of andantino semplice (10[1])(sem-PLEE-cheh) in D-flat (10[2])major, (10[1])while the first movement opens with the horns (10[1])blaring out the motif [read slowly] (10[1])“F, (10[1])D-flat, C, (10[2])B-flat.” For 10 points, name this composer of a Piano Concerto in (10[1])B-Flat (10[1])Minor, who wrote the “Letter (10[1])Scene” for his (10[1])opera Eugene (10[1])Onegin. ■END■
