Round 5: Tossup 16

Note to players: Composer and type of piece required. The last set of these pieces opens with the left hand playing a rising, arpeggiated C-major sextuplet, landing on an octave A-flat, followed by the right hand entering on a D-flat, E dyad. In the set in which it was originally published, one of these pieces came before a “Melodie” in E major and after an “Elegie” in E-flat minor. (-5[1])The fifth entry in a set of ten of these pieces is a G-minor work marked (10[1])Alla marcia. After (10[2])releasing 13 (10[1])of these pieces (-5[1])as his Opus 32, their composer (10[1])had published one in every key. One of these works, originally the second piece (10[1])in Morceaux de fantaisie (10[1]-5[1])(“mor-SOH duh fon-teh-ZEE”), begins (10[1])with the descending (10[1])left-hand octaves (10[2])A, G-sharp, C-sharp. (10[1]-5[1])That C-sharp minor one of these pieces is nicknamed “The Bells of Moscow.” (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name these pieces in an introdutory genre by the composer of Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. ■END■ (10[3]0[3])
