Question
Folk instruments like the daira drum feature in a ballet by this composer that drew from an earlier piece titled Happiness. Over a ten year period this composer wrote concertos for each member of a renowned piano trio, including a D-flat major concerto for Lev Oborin that calls for a musical saw. This composer’s second symphony, which opens with the piercing “E, high G-sharp, F” motif, is nicknamed “The Bell.” A grim waltz opens this composer’s suite of incidental music for Mikhail Lermontov’s play Masquerade. In this composer’s most famous piece, the violins and xylophone play a frantic melody based on high F-sharp eighth notes, followed by loud trombone glissandi. For 10 points, name this Armenian composer whose ballet Gayane features a “Sabre Dance.” ■END■
