This non-piano instrument features in a piece that was prefaced with two lines from Alfred de Musset’s La Nuit de Mai and begins with the motif “short A, high long E” in an “Impetuoso” movement. “Rapsodie,” “Processional,” and “Affirmation” are the movement titles of a piece for this instrument dedicated to Milton Preves, who had premiered a suite for this instrument by the same composer at the 1919 Berkshire Festival. A suite for this instrument commemorating King George V’s (*) death and a concerto based on (10[2])German folk songs about a swan, Der Schwanendreher, were written for this instrument by a virtuoso of it. Despite tying in votes, Ernest Bloch’s suite for this instrument won a competition judged by Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge over Rebecca Clarke’s sonata for it. For 10 points, Trauermusik was written by Paul Hindemith for what stringed (10[1])instrument notated in alto clef? ■END■
