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. (15[1])A movement in this form built around the dotted half-note theme, “G, G-sharp, up to F, E” contains many tied eighth notes. (15[1])The Hammerklavier closes with a movement in this form full of stretti and inversions, in three (*) voices. A dissonant movement in this form that Stravinsky called “contemporary forever” was excerpted from Beethoven’s 13th string quartet; that movement is called the “Grosse” one of these pieces. For 10 points, (10[1])name these contrapuntal pieces that Bach paired with preludes (10[1])in The Well-Tempered Clavier, and with a “Toccata” in (10[1])D minor. ■END■
