Question

Dmitri Shostakovich’s reorchestration of a cello concerto in this key added piccolos to its first movement and a harp to its second. The second movement Romanze of a piano concerto in this key (10[1])is a solo cello (10[1])and piano duet, which may have inspired the (10[1])cello solo (10[1])in Brahms’s B-flat major second piano concerto. (-5[1])An Allegro affettuoso movement of a concerto in this key opens with a descending series of chords followed by a motif (10[1])spelling out the name of the composer’s wife. (10[3])A later (-5[2])concerto (10[1])in this key imitates halling dance (10[2])in its finale (10[5])and opens with a timpani roll (10[3]-5[1])that builds into this key’s (10[2])tonic chord. (10[3])Robert Schumann’s (10[1])piano (10[1])concerto (10[3])in this key (10[1])inspired one in the same key by Edvard Grieg. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this minor (10[1])key (-5[1])that contains (10[2]-5[1])no sharps or (10[1])flats. (10[2])■END■ (10[19]0[5])
