In one work by this composer, the overture of a Richard Wagner opera is intentionally mangled as ifbeing sight-read by a spa orchestra early in the morning. One of this composer's important early works is asetting of a fifteen-poem cycle about the life of the Virgin Mary, Das Marienleben. William FurtwÃ¤ngler'sattempted staging of an opera by this composer eventually culminated in his resignation from theStaatsoper and Berlin Philharmoniker. Another work by this composer

William FurtwÃ¤ngler'sattempted staging of an opera by this composer eventually culminated in his resignation from theStaatsoper and Berlin Philharmoniker. Another work by this composer includes twelve fugues with elevenlinking interludes and a prelude and postlude that are retrograde inversions of each other. This composerwas a leading proponent of Gebrauchsmusik, and often played in a trio with Szymon Goldberg andEmanuel Feuermann. Yet another work by this composer was written in just six hours upon hearing of thedeath of King George V and is scored for orchestra and viola, an instrument of which he was a master. Thatwork is Trauermusik, and other works include Ludus Tonalis and Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes byCarl Maria von Weber. For 10 points, identify this righteous anti-dodecaphonist whose first symphony wasbased on themes from his opera Mathis der Maler.
