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