Packet A: Tossup 4

In a piece titled in French for this genre, the solo violinist enters with a long low B, then a fast E major scale landing on a B two octaves higher; that piece’s opening is marked allegretto lusinghiero (“loo-sing-YAIR-oh”). A movement in this genre precedes the concluding (-5[1])“Feria” of a rhapsody by Maurice Ravel. After a violin showpiece’s introduction, a moderato [emphasize] movement in this genre may insert a countermelody taken from a different fantasy by Franz Waxman. (-5[1])The second movement of a fantasy by Pablo de Sarasate (-5[1])adapts a mezzo-soprano (-5[1])aria (10[2])in this genre (10[3])whose melody (10[1])chromatically (10[1])descends (10[2])from (10[1])D. (10[3])The singer (-5[1])of that (10[1])aria (10[1])in this genre (10[1])repeats (10[2])“prends garde (10[1])à toi” (“prahn GARD ah TWAH”), tosses a flower (10[1])at Don (10[1])José (10[2]-5[2])(“zho-ZAY”), and claims (10[1])that (10[1])“love (10[1])is a rebellious (10[1]-5[1])bird.” (10[4]-5[3])For 10 points, (10[1])an (-5[1])aria from Carmen (10[1])is in what (-5[1])genre (10[2]-5[4])named for a Cuban (10[1])city?
