Helmüt Bornefeld

Things I know about this man:

1. He has an umlaut. Good work, son.

2. He has a tophat. Again, top marks.

3. He has a cravat. And an umbrella. HD+. Yes, I just made that up.

4. He was born on the same day C.P.E. Bach died, a mere one hundred and eighteen years after the fact. COINCIDENCE?

5. He has his head at a jaunty angle. Slightly cocky, mostly enigmatic. Points.

6. He wrote a collection of pieces called
"Im Dutzend billiger, 12 harml
ose Stüke" which apparently means something along the lines of
"Cheaper by the Dozen, 12 Harmless Pieces". Excellence.

7. He was in the back of a flute duets score which I flicked open desperately,
hoping to find a babelicious composer, because we hadn't had a post in
OVER A MONTH and I felt like a bad mother.

Fin.
