An andantino dolente ["doe-LENT-ay"] section of a ballet by this composer features string tremolos and metrically ambiguous oboe and clarinet solos that obscure the beat for the thirteen women in nightgowns in the "Intercession of the Princesses" dance.

One choreographer of a ballet by this man said that the Moor should be danced all turned out, but the introverted title (*) puppet should be all turned in. One ballet by this composer begins a group of five dancers in primitive costumes jumping and stomping rhythmically to the beat in that ballet's Dance of the Adolescent Girls, one of whom is eventually sacrificed as part of "The Adoration of the Earth." That work was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev and choreographed by Vaslav Nijinski. For 10 points, name this composer for ballets like Petrushka, The Firebird, and The Rite of Spring.
