In his memoirs, Carl Czerny (“CHAIR-nee”) claimed that all Viennese pianists around 1800 were either “Beethovenists” or followers of this composer. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this composer who succeeded Haydn as the Esterházy family’s court composer. This composer’s best known piece is a trumpet concerto in E major.
ANSWER: Johann Nepomuk Hummel
[10h] Czerny and Hummel exemplify a late-Classical style named for this adjective that emphasized the virtuosity of composer-pianists. Chopin’s works in that style include a polonaise titled for this adjective and “grande,” which he paired with the Andante spianato.
ANSWER: brilliant [or brillant (“bree-YAWN”); accept stile brillante or brilliant style; accept Grande polonaise brillante]
[10e] Composers of the stile brillante (“STEEL bree-YAHNT”) favored this form consisting of a refrain separated by episodes. A movement in this form from Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 11 imitates Turkish music.
ANSWER: rondo form [accept “Rondo alla turca”]
