Large quantities of such brain food are the only explanation of your feat in the matterberg of Atterberg. I'd never heard of the beggar, let alone knowing how many symphonies he wrote.
I have a feeling that, fuelled by the omega-3 from a few cod fillets, we are going to get a monumental "B"

a composer, the nephew of a creator of soil classification, one of his nine symphonies was as the result of a competition (hence it's monetary subtitle?), his violin concerto was premiered by a "temperamental" Australian violinist
The violinist is Alma Moodie who sounds to have been quite a player but I don't get any sense from wiki about why she might be described as 'a "temperamental" Australian violinist' - can either mercia or Taps help please??
