[net.music.classical] Quiz on composers' deaths

kinmonth@null.DEC (06/15/84)

[Is there really a bug here? I always get these lines...]

I submitted this a few weeks ago, but I believe it must have gotten
lost in the vast expanse of inter-nodal space, because no one I've talked
to seems to have ever received it (including myself). So I'll try
again. If anyone is getting this for a second time, sorry...

Here is a quiz about composers dying in strange ways. Send answers to
me and I'll post winners.

1. What composer was killed when the bicycle he was riding slammed into
   a tree?

2. What composer, while living in an occupied country, was shot to death
   by a sentry of the occupying forces as he stepped outside one evening
   to smoke a cigarette? Of what nationality was the sentry?

3. What composer was murdered by an intruder and left to die in his garden?

4. What composer succumbed to angina?

5. What composer died when he got blood poisening from an infected pimple
   on his upper lip?

6. What composer was crushed to death by a bookcase?
