Tossup
This composer depicted a character wandering alone with the bass clarinet and bassoon theme “dotted-half E [pause], B C D [pause], A B C” that opens a movement marked Lento lugubre. A scathing letter written [emphasize] to this composer signed by one “who sincerely loves you” led to the destruction of the early work Fatum. A “symphonic fantasy” by this composer is often contrasted with Liszt’s Dante symphony on the same subject. Mily Balakirev suggested the transition between “strife” and “love” themes in a piece this composer styled an “Overture-Fantasy.” This composer of the tone poem Francesca da Rimini wrote a programmatic “symphony in four scenes” based on Lord Byron’s drama Manfred. For 10 points, name this Russian composer of the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture and the Pathétique symphony. ■END■
