Tossup

A movement by this composer, whose cello parts begin with four pizzicato quadruple-stop C major chords, includes the debated performance instruction “con mala grazia” (“kawn MAH-luh GRAHT-s’yuh”) for the violins. A D-major concerto by this composer was adapted for the guitar by Gaspar Cassadó (“kah-sah-DOH”), who also adapted a chamber movement that this composer wrote for a group led by Francisco Font during this composer’s employment under Infante Luis Antonio. This composer, whose works were catalogued by Yves Gérard (“EEV zhay-RAR”), depicted (10[1])a curfew-enforcing (10[1])group (10[1])“passing (10[1])directly under the listener’s window” (10[3])in the (10[2])“Ritirata” (10[1])(“ree-tee-RAH-tah”) finale of a string quintet (10[1])that calls for cellos to be played like guitars (10[1])in (10[1])imitation of blind beggars. (10[4])For 10 points, Night Music (10[1])of the Streets of (10[1])Madrid (10[1]-5[1])is by what Italian composer who wrote (10[1])a string quintet with a “celebrated minuet”? ■END■ (10[1])
