This composer ended a set of orchestral songs with a poem that ends "Is this perhaps death?," "Im Abendrot." One of his characters wonders about little "Resi" from the convent and admits that she sometimes stops all the clocks in the middle of the night. An opera by this composer ends with a young black page scurrying off the stage. This composer used three Hesse poems in his Four (*) Last Songs and wrote a role for a woman who "resolves to love" a young count fully, loving even "his love for another." That sentiment is expressed after Baron Ochs fails to marry Sophie, a girl who sings a trio with Octavian and the Marschallin. For 10 points, name this composer of Der Rosenkavalier.
