Question

Donald Tovey describes the “vision of dry bones” in this symphony’s finale, which he analyzes in terms of “a Bass, a Tune, and a Fugue.” In the seventh bar of this symphony, violins enter with syncopated G’s floating above a sustained C-sharp in the cellos resolving up to D. A piece [emphasize] inspired by this one that uses hubcaps and brake drums as found percussion was written by Tán Dùn as an “Internet Symphony.” At a (-5[1])rehearsal for this symphony, Ferdinand Ries (“reese”) mistakenly berated a horn (10[1])player for starting the first movement recapitulation early. Two isolated E-flat major chords open this symphony, whose second movement is an unusually long funeral (10[2]-5[1])march. For 10 points, name this early Romantic symphony that bears a retracted dedication to (10[1])Napoleon. (10[6])■END■

ANSWER: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 [or Eroica Symphony or Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55 by Ludwig van Beethoven; accept the Sinfonia Eroica or Heroic Symphony]
