A (10[1])scathing letter written [emphasize] (10[1])to this composer signed by one “who sincerely loves you” led to the destruction of the (10[1])early work Fatum.

Mily Balakirev suggested the (10[1])transition between “strife” and (10[1])“love” themes (10[1])in a (10[1])piece this composer (10[1])styled an “Overture-Fantasy.” This (10[1])composer of the tone (-5[1])poem (10[1])Francesca da Rimini wrote a programmatic “symphony (-5[1])in four scenes” based (10[1])on Lord (10[1])Byron’s drama Manfred. (10[2])For (-5[1])10 points, name (10[1])this Russian composer of the (-5[2])Romeo (10[3]-5[1])and (0[2]-5[6])Juliet Fantasy Overture (10[2])and (10[3])the (10[11]0[3])Pathétique symphony. ■END■
