Question

Descending oboe half-notes open a Franz Xaver Süssmayr (“ZUSS-mayer”) symphony titled for this country. After a key change to the parallel A minor, the soloist in the third movement of a violin concerto (10[1])nicknamed for this country (10[2])plays fast sixteenth-note melodies punctuated by basses playing (10[1])col legno (“len-yo”). A (-5[1])movement titled for this country opens with the pickup sixteenth notes (-5[1])[read slowly] B A G-sharp A, then (10[4])long C. Pedals that imitate (10[1])drums and bells (10[2])were added to (10[1])some late (10[1])18th-century pianos to emulate this (10[3]-5[1])country’s music. (10[1])A criticism mistranslated as “too many notes” was given (10[1])to (10[1])a Singspiel (“ZING-shpeel”) set in (10[1])this country, (10[1])The Abduction from (10[2])the Seraglio. (10[2])Mozart’s (-5[1])Eleventh (10[1])Piano Sonata ends with (10[1])a third (10[2])movement rondo (10[1])evoking (10[1])the (10[1])music of (10[4]-5[1])this country. For 10 points, name this country that Classical-era composers evoked by imitating its (10[3])Janissary (10[5])bands. ■END■
