Round 5: Tossup 11

A dance from this country is the basis of a Vittorio Monti showpiece often performed on violin. A piece titled for being from this country opens with the notes (read slowly) “long C-sharp, up (15[1])to short F-sharp, long A, short F-sharp, long E-sharp.” That 2/4 time piece, the fifth of a set of dances named for being from 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 of “snap” pizzicato is named (10[1])for this country’s composer of Concerto 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[1]0[4])Bartók? ■END■
