Question

This type of place titles a solo piano collection containing a piece that opens with an enigmatic C sharp, then rising thirty-second notes (read slowly) “D, G, B flat,” and repeats an octave up. Albert Roussel’s first symphony is titled for the “Poem of” this type of place, which also titles a Joachim Raff symphony depicting Wotan and (15[1])Lady Holle. In an opera, the offbeat descending flute notes (read slowly) “long C sharp, B, G sharp, short F sharp, E” heard in one of these places become a soprano part when the hero (*) gains the power to understand them by (-5[1])tasting a dragon’s blood. (-5[1])One of these places (10[1])titles (-5[1])a (-5[1])Liszt (-5[1])concert étude paired with (10[1])a “Dance of the (10[1])Gnomes” (10[1])and (10[1])a piano album including “Bird as (10[1])Prophet.” This (10[1])place’s “Murmurs,” (-5[1])which imitate birdsong, appear in (-5[2])Act II of Siegfried when the title hero goes hunting (10[1])in one of these places. For 10 points, (10[1])a (10[1])set of Schumann “Scenes” are titled (10[4])for (10[6]0[1])what natural environment? ■END■
