E-flat major movements in this form comprise the penultimate variations of the Eroica Variations for piano and the Diabelli Variations. A movement in this form built around the dotted half-note theme, “G, G-sharp, up to F, E” contains many tied eighth notes. The Hammerklavier closes with a movement in this form full of stretti and inversions, in three (*) voices. A dissonant movement in this form (10[1])that Stravinsky called (10[1])“contemporary forever” was excerpted from Beethoven’s 13th string quartet; that movement is called the “Grosse” one of these (10[2])pieces. (10[1])For 10 points, name these contrapuntal pieces (10[1])that Bach paired with preludes in The Well-Tempered (10[1])Clavier, and with a “Toccata” in D minor. ■END■
