Question

Composer and genre required. The coda of one of these pieces begins with a melody reminiscent of their composer’s setting of the Ave Maria after a key change from A minor to A major. (-5[1])In the scherzo (-5[1])of one of these pieces, a clarinet introduces an F major melody with four dotted eighth-sixteenth figures that end in (10[1])a short-long “snap” rhythm. (10[5])Violins (10[1])repeat the notes A, (10[1])long C-sharp, (10[2])A (10[1])before (10[1])leaping (10[1])from A (-5[1])up to E (10[2])in one of these pieces. (10[1])The last movement (10[1])of one (-5[1])of these pieces opens with a solo flute quoting “A Mighty (10[1])Fortress (10[1])Is Our God.” (10[2])One of these (10[1])pieces (10[1])ends with an A (10[1])minor saltarello (10[2]-5[3])and was written after a (10[2])tour of Europe (10[1])that also inspired the overture The Hebrides. (10[3]-5[1])For 10 points, (10[2])“Scottish” (10[3])and (10[1])“Italian” (10[3])are (-5[1])nicknames (10[1])of what (10[1])orchestral (10[1]-5[1])pieces (10[2])by the composer of incidental music to A Midsummer (10[1])Night’s (-5[1])Dream?
