Question

One symphony by this composer opens with horns playing repeated A-C-sharp dyads before the strings open with an A, C-sharp, A, A, C-sharp, A theme. This composer’s fifth symphony quotes the (*) “Dresden Amen” and the hymn “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” This composer’s fourth symphony ends with a Saltarello movement that incorporates elements of the tarantella dance, and his third symphony was inspired by travels to a region that also inspired his “Hebrides Overture.” For 10 points, name this Jewish composer of the “Scottish” and “Italian” Symphonies. ■END■
