Pyotr Tchaikovsky dedicated a work titled for “scherzo” and this genre to his lover Iosif Kotek, and also dedicated a different work in this genre, the last in his Six Pieces, to Emma Genton. After the introduction to a work in this genre, two French horns play the rising phrase (read slowly) “D, D, F-sharp, A, long A” before the flutes respond with two As down to two F-sharps. Maurice Ravel and Franz Schubert both composed a set of (*) “noble and (10[1])sentimental” works in this genre. A dog chasing its tail inspired Frédéric Chopin to write a work in this genre that was not actually supposed to be played in a minute. The Ländler is a predecessor to this genre, which comes in a “Viennese” style. The Blue Danube is an example of, for 10 points, what genre of 3/4 dance? ■END■
