Luigi Denza successfully sued this composer for incorporating Denza's song "Funiculi, Funicula" in the last movement of one of his tone poems. In another tone poem by this composer, a descending seventh in the trombones and tuba pronounce the death sentence of the title character, after which the D clarinet squeals and a flute trills as he is hanged. That piece by this composer of Aus Italien depicts the title character with a lilting theme in F major in 6/8 for solo horn, and opens with a "once upon a time" theme. Another piece by this composer has a fully chromatic fugue in its "Of Science" movement and opens with a C-G-C motif depicting sunrise. That tone poem is based on a work of Friedrich Nietzsche's. For 10 points, name this German composer of Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks and Also Sprach Zarathustra.
