Question

In the rondo third movement of a piece in this genre, the melody and a trill on G are played simultaneously over rapidly rising and falling C major scales.

(10[1])The virtuosic Presto (-5[2])agitato (“ah-jee-TAH-toh”) third movement (10[1])of a piece in this genre contrasts with its calm first movement, which begins by repeating an arpeggiated C-sharp minor triad. That piece in this (10[1])genre marked “quasi una fantasia” is nicknamed (10[1])after the reflections on Lake Lucerne. For 10 points, name this genre of solo keyboard music, such as a Beethoven piece nicknamed (10[1])“Moonlight.” (10[1])■END■ (10[3])
