In the final movement of this composer's first symphony, a horn solo begins with a dotted half note on E, then descends in sixteenth - dotted eighth - whole note rhythm to D, C, G; that solo is repeated by the flute. That first symphony by this composer opens with the timpani pounding eighth notes in 6/8 under a chromatically rising string melody in C minor. An "F - A - B-flat" motif sets the words "Selig sind" in a choral work by him. This composer wrote that non-liturgical requiem using excerpts from the Luther Bible, and quoted "Gaudeamus igitur" in an overture written in response to the conferral of an honorary degree by the University of Breslau. For 10 points, name this 19th-century composer of A German Requiem and the Academic Festival Overture.
