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