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 writer. Gӧran Frӧst composed a set of “Dances” in this style for his brother Martin. Based on a notebook of themes in this musical style, Sergei Prokofiev composed a piece originally advertised as his “Overture Op. 34.” A theme from this musical (-5[1])style (-5[1])forms the basis for the macabre final movement of a piece inspired by the death of Ivan Sollertinsky, (*) Shostakovich’s Trio No. 2. This music inspired the second subject of a movement originally called “Funeral March in the Manner of Callot” (ka-LOH) from Mahler’s 1st Symphony. Emotive clarinet music is characteristic of, for 10 points, what style of Jewish folk music from Eastern (10[2])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.”)
