A 5/8 ostinato ends this man's piano concerto commissioned for the centenary of the founding of G. Schirmer Inc. Iso Briselli refused to play this composer's violin concerto due to the difficulty of its perpetuo moto third movement. Another work by this man features an abrupt transition after the text "one is my father who is good to me," which is thought to reference the composer's badly ill father at the time. This composer orchestrated a short prose piece by (*) James Agee in his Knoxville: Summer of 1915 and arranged his most famous work from the second movement of his String Quartet, Opus 11; that work was broadcast over the TV at the announcement of JFK's death. For 10 points, name this American composer of the Adagio for Strings.
