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