is it before 1800?
is the composer from Western Europe?



a rules suggestion: do you think we should outlaw questions refering to the composer or the piece's name/spelling, and focus on questions that can possibly educate us about the background and nature of the piece? I think questions like "does his last name begin with a letter before M?" and so on, take away from the interest of the game.
