Favorite Symphonies Quiz


Pick your favorite composer for each symphony. You can’t use a composer more than once.

Here are my answers (at least today’s answers):
Symphony No. 1: Copland
Symphony No. 2: Hanson
Symphony No. 3: Saint-Saëns
Symphony No. 4: Bruckner
Symphony No. 5: Shostakovich
Symphony No. 6: Tchaikovsky
Symphony No. 7: Sibelius
Symphony No. 8: Mahler
Symphony No. 9: Beethoven

What are your picks? I’m looking forward to learning something.

It's the composers who were cursed to complete only 9 symphonies in their lifetime. At least that's what Bruckner and Mahler believed.
Cool.  Several choices here I've never heard or even heard OF.  Working now to correct that.  (I'm giving myself extra points if I actually own a recording of one of these.).    Atterberg??!!   And I thought Scriabin never moved from the piano bench.
1 Kalinnikov
2 Sibelius
3 Copland
4 Nielsen
5 Bax
6 Tchaikovsky
7 Mahler
8 Shostakovitch
9 Bruckner

I’m not well versed in classical enough to complete all nine but:
3. Saint-Saens
4. Brahms
5. Mahler
9. Beethoven

And yes, it is hard to leave out Dvorak’s 9th
