A Romani-inspired melody opens the first of Three Romances dedicated to a player of this instrument (10[1])by Clara Schumann. (10[1])This instrument (10[1])and the accompaniment open the finale of one sonata by playing the quarter notes [read slowly] “B, C-sharp,” then “A, (10[1])G-sharp, F-sharp, long E” (10[1])in canon. A player of this instrument wrote a set of six sonatas each incorporating the style (10[1])of players (10[2])like Joseph Szigeti and (10[2])George Enescu. The (10[1]-5[1])motto “free (10[3])but (10[1])lonely” lends the (10[3])nickname F-A-E (10[1])to (10[1])a sonata for this instrument (10[1])collaboratively written by Johannes Brahms and (-5[1])Robert Schumann. (10[2])César (-5[1])Franck (“fronk”) wrote an A (10[1]-5[1])major sonata for (10[1])this instrument as a wedding gift for (10[1])Eugène Ysaÿe (“oo-ZHEN ee-ZYE”), a virtuoso (10[1])of (10[1])this instrument. A Beethoven sonata for (10[1])this instrument is dedicated (10[1])to (10[1])Rodolphe Kreutzer. For (-5[1])10 (-5[1])points, (10[1]-5[1])Joseph Joachim (10[1])(“YO-sef YO-ah-kim”) played (10[2])what highest-pitched (10[2])string (10[13]0[1])instrument? ■END■
