Question

This movement is the last track on a 1968 Deutsche Grammophon recording by Henryk Szeryng (“SHAIR-ing”), who also performed it at the end of a 1975 live recording in (10[1])Ascona. A piano arrangement of this movement has a chorale-like major-key section marked “quasi Tromboni.” A version of this movement ends Brahms’s five studies for piano left-hand. This movement begins with a long (10[1])minor triad, then the note A, and then the chord (10[1])“D, G, B-flat, E.” Busoni’s BV B 24 is a piano arrangement of this piece, which consists of 64 (10[1])iterations of a four-bar progression that moves from D minor to A7. (-5[1])This solo piece takes about 15 minutes to play, (10[1])making it by far the longest track on the debut album of a 17-year-old Hilary Hahn, (10[4])for whom it is an unofficial (10[1])signature piece. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name this last movement of the Second Partita (10[1])for solo violin by J. S. (10[1])Bach. ■END■ (10[3]0[1])

ANSWER: J. S. Bach’s chaconne [or the chaconne from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Partita No. 2 for solo violin; accept Bach–Busoni chaconne; accept chaconne after “Bach” is read; accept BV B 24 until read; prompt on Partita No. 2 for solo violin; prompt on BWV 1004; prompt on chaconne by asking “by which composer?”; prompt on Busoni’s chaconne until “Busoni’s” is read by asking “based on which composer?”]
