This composer's only mature string quartet is subtitled "Voces intimae".His fourth symphony opens with the notes C-D-F sharp-E; that symphony has a third movement Il tempolargo and is quite grim due to its composer's brush with throat cancer.

Willy Burmester vowed to never play this composer's D minor violin concerto after twoversions were premiered without him. His seventh symphony is remarkable for only having one movement.For 10 points, identify this composer of many tone poems based on the Kalevala, as well as Finlandia.
