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 (10[1]-5[1])Liszt. The virtuosic Presto 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. That piece in this genre marked “quasi una fantasia” is nicknamed after the reflections on Lake Lucerne. For 10 points, name (-5[1])this genre of solo keyboard music, (10[1])such as a Beethoven piece nicknamed “Moonlight.” ■END■ (10[6]0[2])
