Question

All of the tempo markings in a piece in this genre, along with the number of bars in each movement, are multiples of either 10 or 23. In Schoenberg’s last piece in this genre, a second movement marked Comodo is followed by a Largo movement that begins with a unison, recitative-like theme in 8/8. Schubert’s D. 804 inspired the third of four pieces in this genre by Schoenberg. (10[1])Anton Webern’s (“VAY-bern’s”) Opus 28 is a piece in this genre (10[1])whose (10[1])tone row consists of three versions of the BACH motif. (-5[1])A six-movement piece (10[1])in this genre (-5[1])progresses from a happy “Allegretto gioviale” first movement to a sad “Largo desolato” last movement, and has a hidden program about the composer’s affair with Hanna (10[1])Fuchs-Robettin (-5[1])(“fewks ROH-buh-tin”). For 10 points, name this genre exemplified by Berg’s (-5[1])Lyric Suite, (10[4])five pieces by Elliott Carter, and six pieces (10[1])by Béla Bartók. ■END■ (10[4]0[7])
