Tossup

Donald Tovey describes the “vision of dry bones” in this symphony’s finale, which he analyzes in terms of “a Bass, a Tune, and a Fugue.” In the seventh bar of this symphony, violins enter with syncopated G’s floating above a sustained C-sharp in the cellos resolving up to D. A piece [emphasize] inspired by this one that uses hubcaps and brake drums as found percussion was written by Tán Dùn as an (10[1])“Internet (10[1])Symphony.” (10[6])At a rehearsal (10[1]-5[2])for this symphony, (10[1])Ferdinand Ries (“reese”) mistakenly berated a (10[1])horn player (10[1])for starting the first movement (10[1]-5[1])recapitulation early. Two isolated (-5[1])E-flat major chords open this symphony, (10[3])whose second movement is an unusually long funeral march. (10[4]-5[1])For 10 points, name this (10[1])early (10[1])Romantic (-5[1])symphony (-5[1])that bears a retracted dedication (10[1])to Napoleon. (10[8])■END■ (10[23]0[2])
