This composer's second piano concerto opens and closes its third movement with an unusually extensive cello solo. His first symphony begins with a pounding eighth-note C pedal in the timpani in 6/8 time underneath the melody. For Robert Hausmann and Joseph Joachim, this man wrote a double concerto for cello and violin. A passacaglia containing 32 variations on a theme by Bach closes this composer's fourth and (*) final symphony. His Tragic Overture serves as a companion to a work that sets the drinking song "Gaudeamus igitur". His first symphony also contains a theme so similar to the "Ode to Joy" that Hans von Bülow dubbed it "Beethoven's Tenth". For 10 points, name this German composer of the Academic Festival Overture and a famous lullaby.
