This composer quoted a "frenetic Balkan dance" called the "Siri Kolo" in the Rondo all'Ungherese movement of his eleventh keyboard concerto, in D major. A set of variations is introduced by solo cello and oboe an octave apart in the Largo second movement of one of this composer's symphonies, which allegedly caused Brahms to exclaim "I want my Ninth Symphony to sound like this!" This composer's librettist adapted a James Thomson collection for his oratorio Die Jahreszeiten (YAHR-eht-zeit-in), or The Seasons. Anthony van (*) Hoboken catalogued this composer's works. A hint of the Dies Irae follows an unprecedented opening of an extended timpani roll in his penultimate symphony. The second movement of his most famous symphony lets its set of variations die to near silence before a sudden fortissimo chord is struck. For 10 points, name this German composer of the London symphonies, which include the Surprise.
