Show 133: Name That Tune

Richard Strauss
[Added on 2015/7/18:  This used to be called Show 33.  I've renumbered the shows, so that this one is Show133.  The first digit will indicate which series the show is from: 1 for the first cycle, 2 for this second cycle, and so on.  For instance, the July 4th show for this year will be numbered numbered Show201, and so on.  If you didn't figure this out yet, my first show aired the week of July 4th, 2014.]

 This week's show will be a quiz.  After a short clip, you will be given a few seconds to recognize the name of the work, and the composer.  One point for getting it right, except for a few exceptions, where you're allowed two points.

I'm putting this photo up, because Richard Strauss's birthday was on Thursday, June 11.
