The left hand plays a loud octave G to open the rondo finale of a piano sonata by this composer whose first movement’s first subject is interrupted by an ominous low G-flat trill. This composer wrote a work with a notoriously difficult piano part whose right hand plays repeated octave G’s while the left hand ascends in octaves up a G minor scale to E-flat. This composer used a repeated open fifth in the accompaniment of one work to represent a hurdy-gurdy player. A song by this composer sets a poem by Goethe in which a supernatural creature terrorizes a boy on horseback. For 10 points, name this Austrian composer of Winterreise and Der Erlkönig. ■END■
