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 is a solo cello and piano duet, which may have inspired the cello solo in Brahms’s B-flat major second piano concerto. An Allegro affettuoso movement of a concerto in this key opens with a descending series of chords followed by a motif spelling out the name of the composer’s wife. A later concerto in this key imitates halling dance in its finale and opens with a timpani roll that builds into this key’s tonic chord. Robert Schumann’s piano concerto in this key inspired one in the same key by Edvard Grieg. For 10 points, name this minor key that contains no sharps or flats. ■END■
