The first movement of this composer's fifth symphony breaks out into a scherzo in its development section. One of his compositions opens with the an F-sharp minor 6/4 ["six-four"] chord in the low brass resolving to a French sixth. His violin concerto opens with hushed D minor tremolos in the orchestra violins before the soloist enters playing G-A-D. His seventh symphony, which is written almost entirely in the key of C, is in only one movement, and is his last completed symphony. Paavali's mother has a vision of dancers before Death comes for her in his Valse Triste. He drew on the same poetic source for Tapiola and Kullervo as he used for a piece that depicts a bird swimming in the underworld, "The Swan of Tuonela". For 10 points, name this composer of the Lemminkainen Suite and Finlandia.
