PROBLEM: One ruler of this dynasty avoided a prophecy of his death by abdicating in favor of the puppet Yusufi for four days during his persecution of Nuqtavis.

This dynasty was eventually supplanted by Karim Khan and the Zand dynasty, and its final rulers were puppets of Nadir Shah. Tahmasp I was a ruler of this dynasty, which was defeated at Chaldiran by Selim the Grim. Under Abbas I, this dynasty established a capital at Isfahan, and it was founded with the help of the Qizilbash by Ismail I. For 10 points, name this Shi'ite dynasty that ruled Persia from 1501 to 1736.

SOLUTION: History

PROBLEM: The eighth of these is sometimes called "Lento a capriccio", and Franz Doppler collaborated with their composer to orchestrate six of these. Most of them followed the form of a slow introduction, or lassu, followed by a faster friska section, and the most-famous second one of these, in C sharp minor, included space for the performer to include his or her own cadenza. They inspired a pair of similarly-titled and structured works for violin and piano by Bela Bartok, and the fifteenth of these piano works uses the Racoczy March as its main theme. For 10 points, name this series of nineteen gypsy music-inspired compositions so named for the country of their composer's origin, by Franz Liszt.
