Correct response: What is Appalachian Spring?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2020 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Appalachian Spring is Aaron Copland and Martha Graham’s famous 1944 ballet; Copland said its narrative “concerned a pioneer celebration in spring around a newly-built farmhouse in the Pennsylvania hills in the early part of the 19th century” and “it had to do with the pioneer American spirit, with youth and spring, with optimism and hope”. Graham, one of the pioneers of American modern dance, choreographed the ballet; a 1974 recording of its music was entered into the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry in 2013.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Kristin’s 2-day total of $8,000 is the lowest since Joanne Platt won $6,999 in her first two wins on September 17-18, 2007.
- On CITY NICKNAMES $600, Alex’s reminder to Aaron constituted a ruling. By rule, because a lack of phrasing in the Jeopardy! round is a warning offense and not a penalty offense, Alex’s ruling preceded Aaron’s later misspeaking in his second response, thus the second response was correctly disregarded by the judges.
