Trout Quintet - 2025 ACF Nationals

Tossup

A 1969 documentary about a performance of this piece features Zubin Mehta as a performer rather than conductor. (10[2])The composer of this piece met its (10[1])commissioner on a vacation in Steyr (“STY-er”) with Johann Michael Vogl, who premiered many of its composer’s works. The unconventional key scheme of this piece’s second movement includes a primary theme in F major and secondary theme in F-sharp minor. The fourth of this piece’s five movements is a set of D-major variations on a theme that was originally in D-flat major in the work it was (-5[1])adapted from. This piece took inspiration from Hummel’s Opus 47, (10[4])which uses the same (-5[1])unusual instrumentation. Sylvester Paumgartner commissioned this piece, (10[1])which replaces the customary second violin (10[2])with a double bass. (10[2])For (10[1])10 (10[1])points, name this chamber work by Schubert (10[3])that adapts a song about a brook-dwelling (10[1]-5[1])creature. ■END■ (10[5]0[2])
