Question

The first in a set of three pieces by this composer opens with an E-flat minor theme over triplet arpeggios, (10[2])followed by a restatement in the parallel major. (10[1])Extremely slow interpretations of the first movement of a late (10[1])piano sonata by this composer (10[1])were popularized by Sviatoslav (10[1])Richter, who switched (-5[1])from Bösendorfer to Steinway (10[1])to record a fantasy by this composer (-5[1])that (10[1])opens with (10[1]-5[1])thundering C major chords (10[2]-5[1])in a (10[1])“long, short-short” rhythm. Brahms edited a set of “three piano pieces” by this composer initially intended to be a third set of four impromptus. (-5[1])This (-5[1])composer (10[2]-5[1])declared “the devil may play it” (10[2]-5[1])in reference to his challenging Wanderer Fantasy. (10[6]-5[1])For 10 points, (-5[1])name this (-5[1])German composer (-5[1])whose hundreds of Lieder (10[5])include (-5[1])settings of (10[2])Goethe (10[1])in (10[1])Gretchen (10[1])at the Spinning Wheel (10[4]-5[1])and Der Erlkönig.
