Question

A movement of a work in this genre, scored for only strings, paraphrases Bach’s Minuet in G into a limping 7/4 (“seven-four”) waltz. Movements such as “Turkey Trot” and “Sennets and Tuckets” are found in that work in this genre by Leonard Bernstein. This title was retroactively given to three early, light, three-movement quartets by Mozart that (10[1])are also known as the “Salzburg sinfonias.” (10[2])A series of Swiss dances (10[1])is included in a work of this type for violin and piano, which Igor Stravinsky extracted from his ballet The Fairy’s (10[1])Kiss. The descending unison half-note melody “E-flat B-flat G E-flat” (-5[1])begins a six-movement E-flat major work in this genre that was first work written for string trio. A series of cluster chords ends a Mozart work (10[1])in this genre (10[1])riddled with satirical (-5[1])compositional mistakes. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, (-5[1])Mozart’s (-5[1])A Musical Joke (-5[1])is a work (-5[3])in (-5[1])what light multi-movement (10[1]-5[1])genre that takes its name from an Italian word for “to amuse”?
