Question

It’s not a rabbit or goat, but an “angora” type of this animal titles a piano piece that Nicolas Horvath arranged from an incomplete Erik Satie piece for orchestra. A violin showpiece called Cinema-Fantaisie was arranged from a piece titled for this animal, which presents its theme in every major key and features a part for the güiro. A bar that Jean Cocteau named for this animal was the main meeting place of Les Six (“lay SEESE”). In a transcription (10[1])of a movement depicting this animal, Maurice Ravel added a pianissimo dynamic to a melody played by a tuba over lumbering strings; that movement is sandwiched between one depicting the Tuileries and a “Ballet of Chicks in their Shells.” One of these animals titles a Brazilian-influenced ballet by Darius Milhaud (“dar-YOOSE mee-YO”), in which it is “on the roof.” For 10 points, name this animal that titles the fourth tableau of Pictures at an Exhibition, which depicts them drawing a cart. ■END■
