Round 7: Tossup 10

The third movement of a cello concerto by this composer begins with a fanfare for two horns over a snare drum roll, followed by a cadenza with tambourine accompaniment. This composer quoted Beethoven’s “Rage Over a Lost Penny” in his first piano concerto, which was initially intended to be a trumpet concerto. (10[2])The orchestra’s (10[1])only French (10[1])horn plays extensive duets with the soloist in this composer’s first cello concerto, which begins with the soloist playing G, (10[1])down to F-flat, (10[1])up to C-flat, (10[1])down (10[1])to B-flat. (10[2]-5[1])A nocturne, scherzo, passacaglia, (10[1])and burlesque comprise the first of this composer’s (-5[1])two violin concertos, (10[1])both of which were premiered by David Oistrakh. (10[1])This composer’s second piano concerto was written for his son Maxim. (10[1])For 10 points, name this (10[1])composer whose first violin concerto represents himself with a DSCH (10[2])motive.
