Tossup

The slow third movement of a symphony by this composer opens with two bars of F major, which are surprisingly revealed to be a Neapolitan chord when they resolve to a B dominant seventh in bar three. After playing Brahms’s Piano Quintet with the Kneisel (“k’NYE-zul”) Quartet, this musician was inspired to write a Piano Quintet in F-sharp minor. The first movement of (10[1])a symphony by this composer quotes a prior setting of William Ernest Henley’s poem “Dark is the Night.” (10[1])A movement marked “Allegro con scioltezza (“shol-TET-sah”)” concludes this composer’s Piano Concerto in C-sharp minor. (10[1])This composer’s only symphony is in E minor, (10[1])in homage to (-5[1])Dvořák’s (“d’VORE-zhahk’s”) New World (10[1])Symphony, (10[1]-5[2])and was inspired by Scottish folk music. (10[3]-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name this (10[1])member of the Boston Six (10[1])whose Gaelic (10[1])Symphony (10[2])was the (10[2])first (10[1])by an American woman to be performed by a major (10[1])orchestra. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
