Packet 9: Tossup 17
A female composer from this country wrote the fairy tale suite In the Blue Mountain, sometimes called one of the first works of musical impressionism. A salon piano piece from this country opens with a pentatonic melody in D-flat major in the left hand under thirty-second note arpeggios in the right hand. Four piano pieces by a composer from this country were orchestrated into a suite by Anton Seidl, concluding with the piece “Bell-Ringing.” This is the home country of the composer of “Rustle of Spring” and a composer who celebrated his 25th wedding anniversary to his wife Nina with a piece partly titled for his house. A final “Remembrances” recalls the opening “Arietta” of a 10-book piano collection of Lyric Pieces from this country. For 10 points, name this home country of the composer of the “Wedding Day at Troldhaugen,” Edvard Grieg. ■END■
