Question

Every entry in a set of fifteen pieces by this composer requires a different tuning for the violin. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this Baroque composer of the Mystery Sonatas.
ANSWER: Heinrich Biber
[10e] Biber’s outlandish piece Battalia calls for the use of the “snap” form of this technique to represent cannonfire. In this technique, players use their fingers rather than a bow to pluck a string instrument.
ANSWER: pizzicato
[10h] Biber’s Rosary Sonatas conclude with a piece of this type, a landmark composition for solo violin. Another of these pieces is the third movement of Paul Hindemith’s Nobilissima Visione concert suite.
ANSWER: passacaglia
