(10[2])This composer’s second string quartet pays homage to Beethoven (10[1])by quoting his own song (10[1])“Ist es wahr?” (10[1])The “Walpurgis (-5[1])Night’s Dream” from Faust may have inspired (10[2])the scherzo (10[1])of an (10[1])E-flat (10[1])major chamber piece this composer wrote at 16. (10[4])This composer revived interest (10[1])in J. S. Bach (10[5]-5[1])by conducting (10[4])the St. (10[1])Matthew Passion. (10[1])For 10 points, name (10[1])this (10[2])composer of a celebrated string octet (10[2])and an overture (-5[1])to A (10[1])Midsummer Night’s (10[1])Dream. ■END■ (10[11]0[7])
