This man's song settings include Tournoiement (Songe d'opium) and La Splendeur vide, which are collected amongst his Mélodies persane. One work in E-flat major follows the Intermède with a gavotte and the central part of the second movement of one of his works is marked Allegretto and is preceded and followed by sections marked ad libitum. In addition to his string septet and his Oboe Sonata, one of his concertos has the marking leggiaramente in the Allegro scherzando movement, and has a first movement which gives the soloist an ad libitum cadenza and draws from Bach fantasias. Another concerto for the same instrument was inspired by a Nubian love song. Besides his Egyptian concerto and his second piano concerto in G minor, he composed two cello concertos, the first in A minor. Another work features some glissandi on a glass harmonica as well as a movement depicting pianists practicing their scales, and he twice used the xylophone to depict rattling bones, once in a work which opens with a harp playing a D note twelve times, signifying the clock striking midnight. For 10 points, name this composer of The Carnival of the Animals and Danse Macabre.
