    		Not to mention Wilhelm Friedmann Bach, who was another one of the boys and also quite talented.

    For more information of Bach's music, a quiz of mine has just been put online: "Bach's Musical Offering"

    A curious fact is that many classical composers wrote two works of the same type, but only one of them became known and famous, and the other one was nearly forgotten. A typical case is a famous French composer who had two cello concertos; the first is very famous and had been recorded by every cellist, but the second very few times. Do you know who he was?

    The string quartet is one of the most difficult musical forms, and that's why even famous composers only try it once. I can name a French, an Englishman, a famous Italian opera's composer and a Belgian, between others. Can you identify them?

    This Italian composer's brother was a pupil of Giuseppe Tartini. He went on to teach many future composers, as well as become famous in his own right. One of his biggest claims to famous is a likely fictional feud with another composer. Who is he?
