Packet 5: Tossup 11

A dance from this country is the basis of a Vittorio Monti showpiece often performed on violin. A piece titled (15[1])for being from this country opens with the notes (read slowly) “long C-sharp, up (15[1])to short F-sharp, long A, short (-5[1])F-sharp, long E-sharp.” That 2/4 time piece, the fifth of a set of dances named (15[1])for being (15[1])from (15[1])this country, is based on (15[1])this (10[2])country’s (10[2])(*) csárdás (“CHAR-dosh”) dance. (10[1])It’s not Scotland, but a type (10[1])of “snap” pizzicato is named (10[1])for this (-5[1])country’s composer (10[1])of Concerto (10[1])for Orchestra. For 10 points, a set of 21 dances by (-5[2])Johannes Brahms are named (10[1]-5[1])for being from (10[1])what home country of Béla (10[3]0[5])Bartók? ■END■
