ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I am regularly visiting a French bistrot in my area; funny place, funny menu, funny music, and funny pictures on the wall. One spot covers some scores of music, with the signature of the composer at the bottom - 5 in all. Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, (and one other) are easily recognizable. However the 5th one at the bottom I cannot recognize. Neither can any of my friends. Nor the waiter or the owner.So I took a picture with my mobile phone the other night. Maybe Andsome knows...?

-pops- Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868)Remember in those days the first "s" of a double s word was long and looked like an "f" without the crossbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 His operas are only performed very occasionally nowadays, but the overtures to them are still immensely popular. Most ,if not all start of quite slowly and end in a frantic gallop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
