Tossup
The fourth movement of this piece begins with the pianist’s unaccompanied right hand twice playing the four eighth notes E, F, G, A. The opening figure of this piece, which begins with a sixteenth rest and then the ascending sixteenth notes G, C, D, E, is assigned to a solo clarinet in André Caplet’s (“kah-PLAY’s”) orchestration of this piece. The second movement of this piece purposely misspells the name of an elephant that lived in the Jardin des Plantes (“zhar-DAN day PLONT”). “The Snow is Dancing” is a movement in this piece, which also humorously juxtaposes the love-death motive from Tristan und Isolde with banjo imitations in a movement partly named for a doll that caricatures African Americans. For 10 points, the movements “Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum” and “Golliwog’s Cakewalk” appear in what piano suite that Claude Debussy dedicated to his young daughter? ■END■
