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