The finale of Rachmaninoff's second suite for two pianos is one of these dances.
Mark-Anthony Turnage recently composed a violin concerto consisting of a mambo, a blues, and one of these dances, and one of these is the finale of John Corigliano's Gazebo Dances. The finale of Rachmaninoff's second suite for two pianos is one of these dances. Saint-Saens composed one for flute, clarinet, and orchestra, and the finale of his second piano concerto is often described as one, though its time signature of 2/2 is atypical for this type of dance. Wieniawski wrote a violin showpiece named for a scherzo and one of these dances. One of these immediately precedes the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy in Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. Chopin's only piece of this type, opus 43, was inspired by (*) Rossini's song "La Danza." These dances are typically in a fast 6/8, such as the one that serves as the finale of Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" string quartet. For 10 points, name these folk dances from Southern Italy named because their frenetic movements were thought to cure people bitten by spiders.
