A Romani-inspired melody opens the first of Three Romances dedicated to a player of this instrument by Clara Schumann. This instrument and the accompaniment open the finale of one sonata by playing the quarter notes [read slowly] “B, C-sharp,” then “A, G-sharp, F-sharp, long E” in canon. A player of this instrument wrote a set of six sonatas each incorporating the style of players (10[1])like Joseph Szigeti and (10[1])George Enescu. The (-5[1])motto “free but lonely” lends the (10[1])nickname F-A-E to a sonata for this instrument (10[1])collaboratively written by Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann. César Franck (“fronk”) wrote an A (10[1]-5[1])major sonata for this instrument as a wedding gift for Eugène Ysaÿe (“oo-ZHEN ee-ZYE”), a virtuoso of this instrument. A Beethoven sonata for this instrument is dedicated to Rodolphe Kreutzer. For 10 (-5[1])points, Joseph Joachim (10[1])(“YO-sef YO-ah-kim”) played (10[1])what highest-pitched string (10[3]0[1])instrument? ■END■
