In one of this composer's operas, the peasant Benoit pretends to be the Marquis de Montcontour's son in exchange for the hand of the Marquis's maid Javotte. This composer of La Roit l'a Dit was commissioned to write the "Pas des Fleurs" for Adolphe Adam's ballet Le Corsaire. He used a bolero castanet rhythm in his setting of de Musset's poetry, Les Filles de Cadiz, and included a string pizzicato in a ballet about the shepherd Aminta. In another of his ballets, Swanhilde impersonates the giant doll with which Frantz has fallen in love. In one of his operas, the maid Mallika serves the Brahmin Nilakantha, whose daughter sings the "Bell Song." For 10 points, name this French composer of the ballets Sylvia and Coppelia, who included the "Flower Duet" in his opera Lakme.
