Packet 10: Tossup 20
The minuet of a piece of this name begins in A minor, modulates to C major, and then to A-flat major, before returning to the main theme in C-sharp minor. An overture mistakenly referred to by this name was actually written for the singspiel Die Zauberharfe. A literary work of this name inspired music that was lost for over 40 years until it was found in a cupboard by George Grove and Arthur Sullivan. A theme from a piece of this name was the basis for a set of B-flat variations in the third of their composer’s Four Impromptus, D. 935. This is the nickname of the same composer’s String Quartet No. 13 in A minor, written directly before the Death and the Maiden quartet. For 10 points, incidental music to what Helmina von Chézy play about a princess of Cyprus includes an Entr’acte sometimes used to “complete” Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony? ■END■
