Round 10: Tossup 9

This genre is grouped with a waltz and a rag in a movement of Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale. A piece in this genre is based on the eighth-note ostinato “rest, E, F, E, F, E, up to C, A” over chords in a 3+3+2 rhythm. A piece for flute and guitar beginning with the movements “Bordel, 1900” and “Café, 1930” is titled for this genre’s “history” and is (10[1])by the composer of a suite in this genre whose title references Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. A precursor of this genre, the milonga, was used for a melancholic ballad from the film (10[1])Enrico IV titled “Oblivion.” The “New” type of this dance genre was developed (10[1])by a player of the accordion-like bandoneón, who wrote a piece (10[1])titled for a portmanteau of it and “liberty.” For 10 points, Astor Piazzolla composed in what dance genre from Argentina and Uruguay? ■END■
