Problem:This composer's first symphony, which he submitted and resubmitted for criticism to his teacher Nikolai Zaremba, nearly led to his mental breakdown. This man used his material from his unpublished opera Undine in the second movement of his C-minor second symphony, whose basis in Ukrainian folk songs led to a nickname coined by Nikolai Kashkin. This composer's final symphony, which contains a (*) "limping waltz" in 5/4 time, was premiered just nine days before his death and dedicated to his homosexual lover. For 10 points, name this composer of the symphonies nicknamed Little Russian, Winter Daydreams, and Pathetique, who also composed the "1812 Overture."
