Question

Ralph (“rayf”) Vaughan Williams included a “Polka Melancolique” and a “Galop” in the third part of his suite for this instrument and small orchestra. (20[1])The melody for the fourth movement of a concerto for this instrument comes from the German folk song “Aren’t you the swan turner.” This instrument was played by Lionel Tertis as well as the composer (20[1])of the Der Schwanendreher (20[5])(“dare SHVAN-end-dray-her”), the virtuoso (20[2])Paul (20[1])(*) Hindemith, (10[5]0[1])who premiered (10[2]0[1])William (10[1])Walton’s (0[1])concerto for it. Because the part had too many rests, Niccolò (10[1])Paganini (0[2])refused to play the solo (0[1])part (0[1])for this instrument (10[1]0[1])in Hector Berlioz’s Harold in Italy. (0[2])For 10 points, name this string instrument (0[1])notated (0[1])with (0[1])the alto clef (10[2])and pitched (10[1])between the violin and (10[1])cello. (10[4])■END■ (10[7])
