Question
Despite insisting it was not programmatic, this composer scored a three-movement “war symphony” for the New York Philharmonic to reels of goose-stepping soldiers and other battle footage. A piece by this composer features a recurring triple-stop chord with a low D, middle E, and high A spread across two octaves, whose playability surprised Samuel Dushkin. Each movement of this composer’s violin concerto opens with that “passport chord.” This composer used a 3-plus-3-plus-2 rhythm in the finale of one octet to adapt a khorovod, which he also used in another work’s “Round Dance of the Princesses.” This composer wrote the Dumbarton Oaks Concerto during his Neoclassical Period, when he also revised a ballet in which Koschei (“kuh-SHAY”) the Deathless dances an Infernal Dance. For 10 points, name this composer of The Firebird. ■END■
