Question

The slow movement of a piano concerto by this composer ends its chromatic first phrase with the flutes playing a pattern of a grace note falling to a held note down an octave on “E, D, C-sharp, (10[1])B.” Hilary Hahn’s album Paris (-5[1])features this composer’s first violin concerto, whose opening theme is marked sognando. A massive cadenza is found in this composer’s second piano concerto, which features a passage marked triple-forte and colossale. This composer’s C major third piano concerto contains a theme (10[1])and variations (-5[1])and opens its first movement with a lyrical solo (10[1])for the first clarinet. Despite a reputation for dissonance from his Visions fugitives, this (10[1])composer (10[2])channeled Haydn in his (10[1])Classical Symphony. (10[4])For (10[1])10 points, (10[1])name this Russian composer of the ballet Romeo and Juliet (10[1]-5[2])and the children’s (10[1])piece (10[1])Peter and the Wolf. ■END■ (10[4]0[2])
