DING DING DING!!! Yes.

Sorry, I had a double post on your last question!

I heard this piece by Antoine de Lhoyer early last week on CBC Radio Two, which is what my alarm clock is set to, and I really enjoyed it.

Relatively unknown composer, but apparently interest has been surfacing recently regards his works, especially for guitar.

I am going to put a request on Beethoven.com to play it, however I'm not even sure if they have any Lhoyer recordings.

Congrats to you, once again, Mr. Naf!!

never heard of him before. good one!
I'll think of a 30Q piece on my way home.

[Catmando]

Well, I've requested the de Lhoyer piece on beethoven.com

I knew the minute I heard the piece last week that it would make for a good 30Q, and also nice to be able to introduce some people to an artist they may not have heard of before.

Fun times!

While Googling for an answer, I usually learn about several composers I've not heard of before. I wasn't familiar with Charles Doisy or Mauro Guiliani. Now I'm complelled to hear something by each of them.
