A bouncy bassoon solo opens this composer’s wind and piano quintet in B-flat major. A story of a knight saving a gazelle who turns out to be Queen Zenobia inspired this composer’s Antar Symphony No. 2. Five separate cadenzas over percussion rolls open a fourth movement “scene” and Romani “song” by this composer whose energetic dance theme leads attacca into a “Fandango asturiano” with (*) castanets imitating the title country. This composer used harp and a solo violin playing high sixteenth note triplets to represent the title storyteller of a suite. In an interlude from this composer’s opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, frantic chromatic runs depict a buzzing insect. For 10 points, name this member of “The Mighty Five” who composed Scheherazade and the “Flight of the Bumblebee.” ■END■
