          The Jan Ignaz I had in mind was Paderewski who became PM of Poland. The rest is correct, well done Anton!

          I saw Horszowski quite a few times in his late 90s at Wigmore Hall - very short, by then just shuffling but as soon as he sat down at thec piano, the years fell away. Quite extraordinary pianism

                Not a country but a composer etc.

                  Found Dimitri Mitropolous whos has written a piano piece entitled Beatrice and also conducted Wagner (but not a skit? I only know of Anna Russell ). No link to sueing the BBC as far as I can see, so probably not the one.

                      André Messager, je pense.

                      Co-wrote Souvenirs de Bayreuth with Fauré

                      Béatrice is one of his operas

                      Messager v BBC [1929] AC 151 was about copyright in one of his operas (can't find which one)


                      "...the isle is full of noises,
                      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
