question:
The allegretto vivace scherzo of one of this man's symphonies opens with a fugato in which first violins, then second violins, violas, and celli in turn enter with the leggiero theme. He used a nearly opposite order of entry in the fugato development of the adagio second movement of another symphony. This composer's aria "De mon amie" was based on that movement, and the symphony borrows heavily from Charles Gounod's Symphony in D. French horns imitate church bells in the "Carillon" movement of one suite by this composer of the Roma Symphony. The prelude to that suite and farandole from a later suite both quote the "March of the Kings," and both came from incidental music for an Alphonse Daudet play. For 10 points, name this French composer who wrote a Symphony in C at seventeen, as well as L'Arlesienne and the operas The Pearl Fishers and Carmen.
answer:
Fine Arts


question:
According to Vasari, this man secured his first patron with a now-lost sculpture of a faun's head with a tooth knocked out. He decorated the Shrine of St. Dominic in Bologna with statues of St. Petronius and St. Proclus. Cardinal Raffaele Riario commissioned this man's sculpture of Bacchus after acquiring a sleeping cupid that he had buried in acidic soil to pass off as a Roman artifact. He's not Donatello, but a statue he made which is part of a tomb in the San Pietro in Vincoli was so lifelike that he allegedly hit it on the knee and commanded it to speak. This artist sculpted Rachel and Leah to flank that horned statue for the Tomb of Pope Julius II. For 10 points, name this sculptor of a marble Moses whose other marbles include a Pieta in St. Peter's and a seventeen foot high nude David.
