Leopold Stokowski - 2026 ACF Regionals

Question

In his orchestration of Debussy’s The Sunken Cathedral, this conductor literally translated its title as The Engulfed Cathedral. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this conductor who orchestrated Bach’s Toccata and Fugue for the film Fantasia. This conductor promoted free bowing in the string section and free breathing in the brass section to create the “Philadelphia sound.”

ANSWER: Leopold Stokowski

[10h] Stokowski began the now-common practice of moving this section to stage right, rather than stage left. When this section is placed on stage left, their instruments are pointed away from the audience, making them quieter.

ANSWER: second violins [or violins 2; prompt on seconds; prompt on violins]

[10e] Like Stokowski, this former conductor of the New York Philharmonic frequently reorchestrated pieces he performed. Stokowski conducted the American premiere of this composer’s Symphony of a Thousand.

ANSWER: Gustav Mahler
