A composer’s third symphony opens with 8 of these instruments playing a theme that begins with the same notes as his earlier “Blumine” (“BLOO-mee-nuh”) movement. In a symphony by the same composer, this instrument plays an obbligato solo throughout a scherzo that opens with four of them playing the notes [read slowly] “D, F-sharp, low A.” Seven of these instruments stand up in the triumphant finale of Mahler’s (15[1])first symphony. This instrument plays (15[1])the notes [read slowly] “B-flat, down to E-flat, E-flat, up to (15[1])B-flat” over string tremolos to open Bruckner’s (*) “Romantic” Symphony. A theme in the finale of Brahms’s first symphony is named for a long wooden variant of this instrument he heard in the Swiss (10[1])Alps. (10[1])Players of this instrument can increase their range with hand-stopping. For 10 points, name (10[1])this coiled brass instrument. ■END■
