Harvested Sorrow Correct, Mahler. Somehow I'm not suprised that you got it. (Perhaps it was your sig...) YaY! It was talked about a lot in a biography I just read of him. Cool, cool guy, great compositions aside.

ChaoticConsonance the isle of the dead Rehm yeah! you're right. Luis Armstrong played the trumpet. he had his trumpet set at a 45 degree ancle so he could hear it better when he played. Ellingdon just played piano. It's a suprise trumpet companies don't actually make quater-pi angle trumpets. Actually, it wouldn't suprise me if some did. But that's a really sucky trumpet, mind you. Only really bad trumpet manufacturers try to replicate Dizzy Gillespie's accident. besides, whoever bought that trumpet would probibly be made fun of for trying way too hard to be like him.

ChaoticConsonance Yep, they do.But that's a really sucky trumpet, mind you. Only really bad trumpet manufacturers try to replicate Dizzy Gillespie's accident. And not only that, the angle is so much less pronounced. Just.. wrong. They could have made it interesting, and they fell flat on their face.

I -really- need to start listening to Mahler..
Ok, this composer is most famous for his brief piano compositions. He was French, and also well-known for giving his compositions strange names (e.g. "Pavane for a Dead Dog"). ..to be honest, I'm not sure what else I can say without giving it away, but then again, he's one of my favorites.

Cool, cool guy, great compositions aside. From what I've seen, he was, even though all I've read is the mini-biography on Wikipedia.org. I don't usually tend to identify with religious figures, not any more at least, however...his apparent issues with depression and attempts to rid himself of it by seeking out the beauty in nature....I can very strongly agree with that. Can you name the biography you've read? I'd like a good starting point to do a search on.

Hm, I'm assuming there's a translation out then. I'll look into it, as soon as I can get a ******** credit card. >_>

It is a really good translation, but maybe that's because when it was translated, Babel Fish didn't exist yet. xd Good luck with the credit card. *makes general admonition about keeping it under control* I got the copy I read from the library, since I'm penniless.

I doubt my library here will have that, nor do I have time to find out. As for the credit card thing...yeah, I know. My general policy when someone else is ordering s**t for me, or with using a credit card in general is to only order as much a month as I can pay for.

okay, silver gryphon -- I'm doing one.
This composer is a fictional pseudonym.
He's invented many different instruments.
He resides at the University of South Dakota at Hoopie
He likes parody.
Got it?
