Question

A movement in this form “with some license” closes a sonata whose first movement tempo marking of half note equals 138 is mostly ignored. 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 (10[1])with a movement in this form full (15[1])of stretti (-5[1])and inversions, in three (*) voices. A dissonant movement in this form that Stravinsky called “contemporary forever” was excerpted from Beethoven’s 13th string quartet; (10[1])that movement is called the “Grosse” one of these pieces. (10[2])For 10 points, name these contrapuntal pieces that Bach paired with (10[1])preludes in The Well-Tempered Clavier, and with a “Toccata” in D minor. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: fugue [or fuga or fughetta; accept Grosse Fuge, Op. 133; accept Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565]
