Final Day of our countdown to Teachers vs. Students! A few last-minute signup spaces are still available! Here is the link: tinyurl.com/TeacherStudentQuizbowl Who am I question!... I am a German-born musician, but I spent most of my life working and performing in Vienna. I was very self-conscious of my compositions, burning my unfinished manuscripts at the time of my death (but not the brothel receipts). Although I became great friends with Tchaikovsky in the later years of my life, I retained my resentment towards his works. Despite having many notable compositions for the violin, I was extremely unfamiliar with the instrument and sent many of my manuscripts to one of my closest friends, who was a violinist by trade, to be edited. WHO AM I? Stumped? A second clue will be published at 8:15. Please submit your response as a PRIVATE MESSAGE to our page, NOT as a comment!

Day 3 of our countdown to Teachers vs. Students! Who am I question! I am an influential composer of the 20th century. My music has been considered avant-garde, for my extreme use of chromaticism and polyrhythms, but notably, micropolyphony. Although being a successful composer, I was never the best performer or conductor. ... WHO AM I? Stumped? A second clue will be published at 8:15. Please submit your response as a PRIVATE MESSAGE to our page, NOT as a comment!

Day 2 of our countdown to Teachers vs. Students! WHO AM I Question! I am one of the most prominent writers of the 18th century. My greatest work depicts a man dissatisfied with his life who trades his soul to the devil. My works have often inspired or been set to music by several composers of the Romantic era. WHO AM I?...

Day 1 of our countdown to Teachers vs. Students! WHO AM I Question! I am a celebrated scientist and author of the 20th century. A Russian native, I later emigrated to the United States, where I received my Bachelors of Science degree from Columbia University at the age of 19.
