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 (10[1])genre that was first publicly performed by Franz Liszt. The virtuosic (-5[1])Presto agitato (-5[1])(“ah-jee-TAH-toh”) third movement of a piece in this genre contrasts with its calm first movement, which begins by repeating an arpeggiated (-5[1])C-sharp minor triad. (-5[1])That piece in this genre marked “quasi una fantasia” is nicknamed after the reflections on Lake Lucerne. For 10 points, (10[1])name this genre of solo keyboard music, such as a Beethoven piece (0[1])nicknamed “Moonlight.” ■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: piano sonatas [prompt on sonatas] (The first and second lines refer to Beethoven’s “Waldstein” and “Hammerklavier” sonatas, respectively.)
