Question

A movement in this genre, called an “extension of silence” by Paul Tortelier, was sometimes played at 32 beats per minute by Rostropovich. That movement in this genre with no double stops is in Bach’s Fifth Cello Suite. One of this genre’s standard rhythms, “quarter, dotted quarter, eighth note,” is used in its setting as the final chorus of the St. Matthew Passion. This dance form’s faster original version from (*) colonial Latin America was banned by the Spanish Inquisition. The Aria of the Goldberg Variations is actually composed as one of these dances. In four-movement Baroque dance suites, this dance occurs after a courante and before a gigue. A movement in this genre from Handel’s Keyboard (10[1])Suite in D Minor with a theme and variations form was used in the film score of Barry Lyndon. For 10 points, name this slow Baroque dance form in 3/4 (“three-four”) time, many of which used the tune of La Folia. (0[1]-5[1])■END■
