Question
In this piece, the repeated pizzicato string motif (read slowly) “D-flat, B-flat, E-flat, B-flat” leads into a passage where the orchestra repeatedly plays a stacked E-flat dominant 7th chord over an F-flat major chord with seemingly random accents. A series of “Rounds” in this work is meant to accompany the khorovod. Upon hearing the opening of this work, which begins with a woodwind playing a grace note–filled solo in an extremely (*) high register, Camille Saint-Saëns apocryphally claimed “If that’s a bassoon, I’m a baboon.” This work’s first section is the “Adoration of the Earth.” In the final act of this ballet, the Chosen One dances herself to death in the “Sacrificial Dance.” For 10 points, a riot occurred at the 1913 premiere of what Igor Stravinsky ballet? ■END■
