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 (15[1])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 arpeggios begin the presto agitato third movement of one of these pieces. Constant (10[1])damper pedal use in the first movement of one of these pieces reminded Ludwig Rellstab of reflections on Lake Lucerne. (10[1])For 10 points, name these 32 pieces for solo piano that include “Moonlight.” ■END■
