226 Views 15 Votes 16 Comments

Many orchestral symphonies have names as well as numbers. These names are usually ‘nicknames’ given by people other than the original composer, but that is not always the case.

Can you identify the composers from the following symphony names? It sometimes happens that the same name is given to more than one symphony, by different composers. However, in this quiz that should not be a problem, because there is only one correct answer from among the choices on offer.
