[NOTE TO MODERATOR: Please read the string of pitches in the third sentence very slowly] Astor Piazzolla's opera Maria de Buenos Aires includes a piece titled for this form and "Misterioso." If one component of this kind of piece includes direct skips between dominant and tonic scale degrees, another component will be "tonal" instead of "real." A sonata in this genre begins with the rising six-note motive G - B-flat - E flat - Fsharp - B-flat - C-sharp, and was purportedly inspired by a cat walking on Domenico Scarlatti's harpsichord. The second movements of J.S. Bach's sonatas for solo violin are all this type of piece. Twelve of these are interspersed with interludes in Paul Hindemith's Ludus Tonalis. J.S. Bach paired these pieces with preludes in his The WellTempered Clavier. For 10 points, name this contrapuntal genre based around imitative entrances of a subject.
