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. (10[1])935. (-5[1])This is the nickname (-5[1])of the same composer’s String Quartet (10[1])No. (-5[2])13 in A minor, (10[2]-5[4])written directly before the Death and the Maiden quartet. (-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1])incidental (-5[1])music (10[1])to what Helmina (10[1])von Chézy play (10[2])about a (10[1])princess of Cyprus (10[1])includes an Entr’acte sometimes used to “complete” Schubert’s Unfinished (10[1])Symphony? (10[2])■END■ (10[6]0[1])
