In one work, a solo by this instrument descends (read slowly) long C, trill on B, G, E before going up to B and down (-5[1])to A. (15[1])This instrument plays a repeated staccato F up to A-flat in its introduction of the main theme in Paul Dukas’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. The “Berceuse” movement of (-5[1])The Firebird features a “lullaby” solo for (-5[1])this instrument. This instrument represents the (*) grandfather (-5[1])in (10[1])Peter and (10[2])the Wolf, and an unusually (10[1])high-pitched solo for it opens Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. The double form of (0[1])this instrument is also known as its “contra” form. For (-5[1])10 points, name this low-pitched double-reed (10[3])woodwind. ■END■
