His first great success was his reconstruction and completion of Weber's comic opera The Three Pintos. He adapted the story of a minstrel fashioning a flute from the bone of a murdered boy for his cantata Song of Lamentation. His third symphony includes a setting of Nietzsche's "Midnight Song" and is the longest in the standard repertory. The love letters he wrote during his disastrous affair with (*) Johanna Richter inspired his cycle Songs of a Wayfarer. Throughout much of his life he wrote songs based on the folk poems in "The Youth's Magic Horn," and he set works of Li Po and included Chinese motifs in his "The Song of the Earth." For 10 points, name this Austrian composer of "Resurrection" and "Titan" symphonies.
