Question

This type of music inspired the second movement of an Osvaldo Golijov (go-lee-HOV) piece partly titled for the “Dreams” of a blind (-5[1])writer. Based on a notebook of themes in this musical style, Sergei Prokofiev composed a piece originally advertised as his “Overture No. 34.” A theme from this musical style forms the basis for the macabre final movement of a piece inspired by the death of Ivan Sollertinsky, Shostakovich’s Piano (*) Trio No. 2. This music inspired the second subject of a movement originally called “Funeral March in (10[1])the Manner of Callot” (ka-LOH) from Mahler’s (10[1])1st Symphony. The opening clarinet glissando of Rhapsody in Blue is often likened to the emotive clarinet music characteristic of this folk style. For 10 points, name this style of Jewish folk music from Eastern (10[1])Europe. ■END■

ANSWER: klezmer music [prompt on Jewish folk music before “Jewish” is read] (The Golijov piece is “Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind.”)
