    Several French composers wrote very fine ballet music. One of them, not known as a symphonic author, had a lovely and unknown ballet, very seldom done or recorded, which has a weird name. This composer is famous for one work only. Who was he, and what is the name of his ballet?

    		Satie isn't know only for 'Gymnopedie'. The correct answer is Eduard Lalo, and his 'Namouna' ballet.
