(10[1])Ascending sixteenth notes on this instrument open the 9/8 ("nine eight") pastorale first movement of a sonata for flute, viola, (10[1])and this instrument by Claude Debussy. This instrument plays ascending and descending (-5[1])arpeggios to open the pas de deux from The Nutcracker. (10[1])Following an opening flute solo, a glissando (-5[1])on this instrument begins the Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. (10[1])The concert form of this (-5[1])instrument, which is unusually tuned to C-flat major, has seven pedals and a range of six-and-a-half (10[1])octaves. For 10 points, name this 47-stringed instrument that is plucked by hand. (10[1])■END■ (10[2])
