Question
In a suite of five “Pictures” from the south of this country, a movement about a bumblebee follows one titled for a “Sigh on the Soul.” A so-called Aria by a composer from this country was composed in a fit of self-doubt at the Villa de Medici. The chromatic melody “B-flat, [pause] fast A–B, A-flat, [pause] fast G–A, G-flat” opens a piece from this country written as incidental music for Psyche. Sigurd Raschèr’s (“RAH-shurr’s”) proficiency with top tones inspired the technical demands of a (*) Concertino da camera from this country. A piece from this country that calls for the nonexistent sopranino saxophone in F caused a falling-out between Arturo Toscanini and its composer and was choreographed for Ida Rubinstein. In an orchestration from this country, an alto saxophone plays a sinuous G-sharp-minor melody to depict a troubadour by an “Old Castle.” For 10 points, name this home country of the most famous orchestrator of Pictures at an Exhibition. ■END■
