Question

A solo in this piece transposes an earlier theme down a major third to start on A and spans a perfect fourth instead of a tritone. An oboe solo in this piece opens with an eighth rest, followed by a quarter note F-sharp, eighth note tremolo F-sharp, then a rapid chromatic run down to D-sharp and up to F-sharp. In this piece's first theme, the first French horn plays the call, “F, A-sharp, G-sharp,” followed by “short C, long D” in the second horn. A glissando in the (*) harp accompanies the opening solo of this piece, which was intended to have a “Final (10[1])Paraphrase and Interlude” but was condensed into one movement. A chromatic descent from C-sharp to G and back opens the flute solo that (10[1])begins this piece, (10[1])intended to (-5[1])depict the “passing of the longings and desires” of the title satyr. A Stéphane Mallarmé poem inspired, for 10 points, what Claude Debussy piece that opens a ballet? ■END■ (10[1])
