Question
This composer described their D minor string quartet as the “kind of thing that brings a smile to your lips at the hour of death.” The scherzo movement of a symphony by this composer opens with the timpani playing a solo in the rhythm ‘long, [emphasise] long, long, short, short, long, long’, accompanied by pizzicato chords in the lower strings. It’s not Tchaikovsky, but that first symphony by this composer opens with a long (*) clarinet solo in E minor over a timpani roll. This composer, whose only mature period string quartet was ‘Voces intimae’, wrote a C major seventh symphony in one movement. The hymn tune for ‘Be Still, My Soul’ is taken from a nationalistic tone poem by this composer that had to masquerade under alternative titles such as A Scandinavian Choral March. For 10 points, name this composer of Finlandia. ■END■
