Tossup

A G minor piece by this composer opens on a Neapolitan chord with both hands playing the notes [read slowly] “long C, E-flat, A-flat, B-flat, C, A-flat.” A posthumously published (10[1])C-sharp minor piece by this composer contains a 4-against-3 polyrhythm (10[1])throughout. (-5[1])Repeated A-flats imitate the title weather phenomenon in a piece by this composer. (10[1])As well as writing a piece inspired by a dog chasing its own tail, this composer wrote many pieces in a dance style from his home country, including ones subtitled “Military” and “Heroic.” Despite its name, a piece in 3/4 (“three four”) time by this composer takes longer than sixty seconds to perform. For 10 points, name this Polish composer of the Fantaisie-Impromptu and Minute Waltz. ■END■ (10[2])
