To open one section of this work, the bass clarinet and E-flat clarinet play a unison melody beginning “E-flat, C, E-flat, C, B-flat” under flute trills. The pizzicato string motif “D-flat, B-flat, E-flat, B-flat” appears in the transition out of this work’s introduction into a repeated chord consisting of a stacked E-flat dominant seventh over F-flat major accented seemingly at (*) random. The phrase “long C, mordent on B, G, E, up to B, A” begins the high-pitched bassoon solo that opens this work. This work was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev, whose production with choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky started riots in the audience at a Paris premiere. For 10 points, name this modernist ballet divided into “The Adoration of the Earth” and “The Sacrifice,” composed by Igor Stravinsky. ■END■
