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. A series of B-flat major chords begin a technically challenging piece in this genre that was first publicly performed by Franz Liszt. The virtuosic Presto (10[1])agitato (“ah-jee-TAH-toh”) third movement of a piece in this genre contrasts with its calm first movement, which begins by repeating an arpeggiated C-sharp minor triad. (10[1]-5[1])That piece in this genre marked “quasi una fantasia” is nicknamed after the reflections on Lake (10[1])Lucerne. For 10 points, name this genre of solo keyboard music, such as a Beethoven piece nicknamed “Moonlight.” (10[1])■END■ (0[2])

ANSWER: piano sonatas [prompt on sonatas] (The first and second lines refer to Beethoven’s “Waldstein” and “Hammerklavier” sonatas, respectively.)
