Question

The 6/8 opening of a piece in this genre features the theme in eighth notes (read slowly) “pickup F, (emphasize) F, D, D, (emphasize) D, B-flat, B-flat, (emphasize) long B-flat.” A D minor piece in this genre supposedly evokes its composer’s wife’s cries during labor with loud (10[1])rising figures. Pulsing low Cs are joined by the successive entrances on rising (10[1])notes A-flat, E-flat, and A-natural in the slow introduction to a piece in this genre whose nickname stems from its unconventional harmony. (10[1])A set of (-5[1])three pieces (10[1])in this genre dedicated to King (10[1])Friedrich Wilhelm (-5[1])II are designated (10[1])as (10[2])“Prussian,” (10[1])while an (-5[1])earlier set of six bear the name of (10[1])its composer’s friend (10[1])Joseph Haydn. For 10 points, Hunt (10[1])and Dissonance are among the works (10[1])Mozart wrote in what genre of chamber (10[3])music scored (10[3])for (10[4])cello, (10[5])viola, and two violins? ■END■
