Question
Hummel’s 3rd Piano Concerto opens with a solo for this instrument. The scherzo of Mahler’s 7th Symphony begins with a solo for this instrument, as it plays on each upbeat while the rest of the orchestra joins. This instrument plays a “four D’s, down to A” theme to open Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. This instrument over pizzicato strings introduces the motif of the scherzo of Sibelius’s 1st Symphony. This instrument plays a “dotted quarter, eighth, quarter” motif on F after it is played on D and A to open the second movement of (*) Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. Four solo D’s on this instrument open Beethoven’s violin concerto, while Grieg’s piano concerto begins with a crescendo on this instrument before the soloist entry. An opening solo for this instrument inspired the nickname of Haydn’s 103rd symphony. For 10 points, name this large, pitched orchestral drum. ■END■
