Answer 1

I don’t have the list of compositions you’re matching to. Please paste the five composition names (or the answer choices) and I’ll place each description with the correct work.

If you want quick guesses without the list:
- Complex counterpoint — likely a Bach fugue (e.g., The Art of Fugue or a Bach fugue)
- Later turned into a ballet by Nijinsky — The Rite of Spring (Stravinsky)
- Melodic leaps filled in with more and more notes as the piece proceeds — In the Hall of the Mountain King (Grieg) (or possibly La Campanella in some contexts)
- Thought to represent a battle between the Hero and Fate — Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven)
- Must be modified to be played on a modern instrument — a Baroque harpsichord/period-instrument work (e.g., a Bach keyboard/harpsichord piece or a Brandenburg Concerto)
