Ernest Bloch's Suite Hebraique is for this solo instrument and orchestra, and Max Bruch wrote a double concerto for clarinet and this instrument. A rhapsody for this instrument and orchestra was written by Tibor Serly, who assembled the unfinished sketches of his teacher, Bela Bartok, into one of the most famous concertos for this instrument. Many compositions featuring it were commissioned by Lionel Tertis. Paul Hindemith's Der Schwanendreher is a concerto for this instrument. Another composition featuring it concludes with an "Orgy of Brigands." The acquisition of one of these instruments led Paganini to request from Berlioz what became Harold in Italy. For 10 points, name this string instrument that plays in the alto clef, and whose size is between that of the cello and violin.
