Question

Regina Strinasacchi (“stree-nah-SAH-kee”) was the dedicatee of a B-flat major one of these pieces by Mozart, whose other pieces of this type include his K. 526 and K. 301. After a slow introduction, one of these pieces launches into a presto A minor theme that ends with two triumphant G and C major chords. A Baroque, G minor one of these pieces climaxes in its finale with passages in which a musician simultaneously plays arpeggios while holding the title (*) technique using double stops. George Bridgetower was the original dedicatee of Beethoven’s ninth (10[1])piece of this type, while his fifth piece of this type is nicknamed “Spring.” A supernatural (10[2])dream inspired Giuseppe (“joo-ZEP-pay”) Tartini’s piece of this type nicknamed “Devil’s Trill.” For 10 points, name this type of chamber piece exemplified by Beethoven’s “Kreutzer.” ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
