And now, because you have all been naughty, and because the Queen is bored, it's time for
COMPOSER TRIVIA! YAY!!! ::)
Ok this is just something I'm doing off the top of my head to see how much you know about classical music.
Which composer is Scandanavian, wrote several sets of "lyric pieces" and looks quite a lot like Einstein?
Subject: Re: Musical Trivia
Grieg?

Sweet! Someone got Grieg on the first guess! (BTW, he's the best one of them all ;) )
Ok, this the Mystic told me this story a long time ago:
Which composer broke his piano because he became so frustrated about not being able to find a certain chord that he had discovered the day before?
Subject: Re: Musical Trivia
Beethoven?
Cat
Subject: Re: Musical Trivia
Beethoven broke all his pianos due to his being profoundly deaf. The old-structured pianos were simply not strong enough to be continuously pummeled by a profoundly deaf genius.
Quoting:
Beethoven?

Nope. Not Beethoven.
Hint: he did this when he was a child
Extra hint: he's not German (if I say where he's from it might give it away)
Subject: Re: Musical Trivia
Mozart?
Cat

Arne (I'm not British so I cheated. ;))
Cat
Subject: Re: Musical Trivia
Dangit cat! Ok, then, I want an AMERICAN to give me ALL the words to the first verse (without cheating!) And I do know them...
Subject: Re: Musical Trivia
The only part I know is "Rule Britianna, Britianna rule the way." Not even too sure if that is right. At least I know the song. Do I get a point for that?

Ok fine, since it looks like nobody wants to answer:
When Britain first at Heav'ns command
Arose from out the azure plain
Arose, arose from out the azure plain
This was the charter, the charter of the land
And guardian angels sung this strain:
RULE, BRITANNIA! BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES!
BRITAINS NEVER NEVER NEVER WILL BE SLAVES!
ok next question (this should be easy):
Who wrote Germany's national anthem?
