[10m] Name this composer, whose songs include a setting of the Goethe (“GER-tuh”) poem “Erlkönig” (“AIRL-kern-ig”). Two pages of a scherzo survive along with two movements of this composer’s Symphony in B Minor.
ANSWER: Franz Schubert [or Franz Peter Schubert]
[10h] Another of Schubert’s songs, or Lieder (“LEE-dair”), was the basis of the variations in this piece’s fourth movement. This cheerful piece is mostly in A major, and unusually uses a double bass rather than a second violin.
ANSWER: Trout Quintet [or Forellenquintett or Piano Quintet in A major or D667; prompt on “The Trout” or “Die Forelle”; prompt on Piano Quintet]
