Round 7: Tossup 4

Note to players: Composer and genre required. A leap of a tenth from F to A is the basis for a three-voice fugue that comprises the fourth movement of one of these pieces. Jeremy Denk described the heavily syncopated “Arietta” movement of one of these pieces as “proto-jazz.” Fortissimo B-flat major chords open one of these pieces that was considered unplayable until its first public performance by Franz Liszt. Rapid (*) C-sharp minor (10[1])arpeggios begin the presto agitato third movement of one of these pieces. Constant damper pedal use in the first movement of one of these pieces reminded Ludwig Rellstab of reflections on Lake Lucerne. For 10 points, name these 32 pieces for solo piano that include “Moonlight.” ■END■ (10[2]0[1])
