This composer used Finnegan's Wake as the basis for an orchestral work beginning with a sweeping oboe solo, Fadograph of a Yestern Scene. This composer of Prayers of Kierkegaard produced many works based on British literature, such as his Dover Beach for string quartet and baritone, and his overture to School for Scandal. He is most famous, however, for an opera in which Erika sings "Must the winter come so soon?" and a string quartet that Arturo Toscanini allegedly memorized at first sight. For ten points, name this American composer of Vanessa and the Adagio for Strings.
