Franz Schubert - 2024 ACF Fall

Question

This composer used the piano accompaniment to imitate sounds of nature, such as the grating of a weather vane, in the song cycle Winterreise (“VIN-tair-EYE-zuh”). For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this composer, whose songs include a setting of the Goethe (“GER-tuh”) poem “Erlkönig” (“AIRL-kern-ig”). Two pages of a scherzo survive along with two movements of this composer’s Symphony in B Minor.

ANSWER: Franz Schubert [or Franz Peter Schubert]

[10h] Another of Schubert’s songs, or Lieder (“LEE-dair”), was the basis of the variations in this piece’s fourth movement. This cheerful piece is mostly in A major, and unusually uses a double bass rather than a second violin.

ANSWER: Trout Quintet [or Forellenquintett or Piano Quintet in A major or D667; prompt on “The Trout” or “Die Forelle”; prompt on Piano Quintet]

[10e] To begin the Trout Quintet, the piano plays a sextuplet figure using chords of this interval. In Western music, two notes have the same letter name if they are separated by this interval, which is derived from the Latin for “eighth.”

ANSWER: octave [or perfect octave]
