This man's suite of music written to honor an Austrian composer was adapted

Mozartiana by George Balanchine. This composer is said to have been annoyed when Alexander III called
 one of his ballets "very nice." That ballet contains the "Garland Waltz" and the "Procession of the Fairy
 Tales," and features leitmotifs representing Carabosse and the Lilac Fairy. In addition to The Sleeping
 Beauty, he composed a ballet in which Odette is transformed into a bird by the curse of Rothbart, as well as
 one which includes the "Dance of the Mirlitons" and the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy." For 10 points,
