Basses in one of this composer's choral works play a descending scale ending in the lowest B flatin the "Nunc Dimittis" movement, in which he used original melodies to honor the memory of Stepan Smolensky. He quoted that work along with the Dies Irae in the third movement of another work that contains an alto saxophone in its opening dance, which then goes on to quote a theme from a work that left him in a great depression. After the disastrous premier of his Symphony No. 1 in D Minor by (*) Glazunov, this composer of the All-Night Vigil and Symphonic Dances used eight bell-like tolls to open his Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, and he inverted the melodies used in the 24 Caprices by another composer in another work. This composer regarded as his Third Symphony another choral work, The Bells. For 10 points, identify this late Romantic Russian composer of Rhapsody
