Excellent,
so we have
7. Debussy
8. Richard Strauss
9. Rossini
10. Ravel
11. Salieri
12.
No 12 might require IGI or Reiner's deep thought.
Clues:
- wrote over 30 operas
- I haven't heard any
- taught Gounod and Bizet

Well done George. I don't think I'd heard of Halevy before yesterday  and had to check my concise dictionary for those two clues, though I expect there is an aria or two in my vinyl collection, I saw his photo on a concert website. |

Chopin wrote a set of variations on a theme from Halevy's opera Ludovic (a collaboration with Herold of Zampa fame).
La juive has been recorded and a Barbican concert performance was broadcast on the R3 opera spot one Sat last Nov; quite entertaining to start with, but it failed to hold my interest...

Is anybody familiar with Halevy's Promethee enchaine of 1849 which apparently uses quartertones ?
