A TwoSetViolin video claims that playing either Flight of the Bumblebee or this piece is the only way to do well in a talent competition. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this G minor violin concerto. Fast sixteenth notes in the final movement of this concerto depict a shepherd trembling in a storm.
ANSWER: “Summer” [or “L’estate”; or Violin Concerto in G minor, RV 315; prompt on The Four Seasons; prompt on Le quattro stagioni; prompt on The Contest Between Harmony and Invention; prompt on Il cimento dell’armonia e dell’inventione]
[10m] The final movement of “Summer” has this tempo marking, which is also the tempo marking of Flight of the Bumblebee. This very fast tempo marking is quicker than allegro and vivace (“vi-VAH-chay”), and denotes a BPM between 168 and 200.
ANSWER: presto [reject “prestissimo”]
[10e] This Italian Baroque composer depicted a storm in the last movement of “Summer,” part of his The Four Seasons.
ANSWER: Antonio Vivaldi [or Antonio Lucio Vivaldi]
