Tossup

This non-string instrument is one of the soloists in BWV 1060R, an attempt (10[1])to revert J. S. Bach’s C-minor double harpsichord concerto (10[1])to its original instrumentation. An F-major sarabande is sometimes excerpted from Handel’s third concerto for this instrument, which is in G minor. Arthur Benjamin created a C-major (-5[1])concerto for this instrument by arranging keyboard sonata themes by Domenico Cimarosa. Bach’s BWV 974 is a transcription of Alessandro Marcello’s (10[2])D-minor concerto for (-5[1])this instrument. This instrument, flute, trumpet, and violin (-5[1])are the four soloists in the second Brandenburg Concerto. (-5[2])A Baroque version (-5[1])of this instrument pitched down a fifth (-5[1])has the phrase “da caccia” (10[2])(“dah KAHT-chah”) in its (-5[1])name (10[1])and is the predecessor of the English horn. (10[1])For (10[1])10 points, name this high double-reed (10[3])woodwind instrument (10[1])that an (10[1])orchestra tunes (10[1])to. ■END■ (10[9])
