In a piece titled in French for this genre, the solo violinist enters with a long low B, then a fast E major scale landing on a B two octaves higher; that piece’s opening is marked allegretto lusinghiero (“loo-sing-YAIR-oh”). A movement in this genre precedes the concluding “Feria” of a rhapsody by Maurice Ravel. After a violin showpiece’s introduction, a moderato [emphasize] movement in this genre may insert a countermelody taken from a different fantasy by Franz Waxman. The second movement of a fantasy by Pablo de Sarasate adapts a mezzo-soprano aria in this genre whose melody chromatically descends from D. The singer of that aria in this genre repeats “prends garde à toi” (“prahn GARD ah TWAH”), tosses a flower at Don José (“zho-ZAY”), and claims that “love is a rebellious bird.” For 10 points, an aria from Carmen is in what genre named for a Cuban city? ■END■
