In this composer’s First Symphony, the first movement’s exposition is followed by a grand pause, after which the development begins with a loud D minor chord played by trumpet, timpani, and strings. The slow movement of this composer’s Fifth Symphony begins with the tuba and strings playing a plodding dual 9/8-and-3/4-time rhythm. In that symphony’s scherzo, a solo clarinet enters over violins playing a repeated “F–D” ostinato. A toccata-like Allegro marcato is the second movement of this composer’s Fifth Symphony in B-flat major, whose premiere was interrupted by cannon fire celebrating the Red Army’s advance into Germany. This composer’s First Symphony replaces its scherzo with a gavotte, as part of a 20th-century take on the style of Haydn. For 10 points, name this composer whose First Symphony is titled Classical. ■END■
