Tossup

An E-major showpiece that hybridizes this genre with a dance genre repeatedly calls for the soloist to leap from C-sharp 5 to high harmonics played on the A string. This is the second genre mentioned in the hybrid genre of the ten pieces in L’École moderne by Henryk (-5[1])Wieniawski (“VEE-yen-YAFF-skee”), whose Opus 1 is titled Grande [one of these pieces] (-5[1])fantastique. A collection of these pieces (-5[2])is the Opus 22 of Pierre Rode. An E-major piece (10[1])in this genre, which has instructions for the player to imitate flutes and horns by (10[1])using double stops, (10[1])is nicknamed “The Hunt” (10[1])and appears (-5[1])in a collection alongside (-5[1])“The Devil’s Laughter.” The theme from a piece in this genre in A minor is inverted in the (10[1])18th (10[1])variation (10[1])of a (10[1])piece (10[1])for (10[1])piano (-5[1])and orchestra. For 10 points, Rachmaninoff (10[1])wrote a rhapsody (10[1]0[1])based on Paganini’s 24th piece (10[2])in what (10[2])genre? ■END■ (10[3]0[1])
