These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-06-15,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe, and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

Name the composer of each of the following sets of variations.
1. "Caprice #24 in A minor" from the first decade of the 19th
century, itself a theme and variations, forms the basis of
more variations by many composers including Benny Goodman,
Franz Liszt, Yngwie Malmsteen... and others who may come up
later in this round. Who composed it?

For example, for "Elvis: That's the Way It Is", we would just
give you "That's the Way It Is".
