This is for those who are finding the riddle thread too easy. In that thread the rules allowed only well-known composers and well - know pieces of the literature. In this one this rule is reversed: only obscure/neglected composers are allowed and only obscure pieces. Since this is goig to be far more difficult I suggest that cryptic statements could be liberally given.
How to play:
1. Only pieces for piano solo, or pieces where the piano plays an important part (e.g. Piano concertos, piano trios, etc.)
2. Only obscure repertory (no well-known composers - even if the piece is obscure, or well known pieces even if the compsoer is obscure)
3. Only one question per player (A player can only ask another question after being answered)
4. Only questions that can be answered with "yes" or "no"
5. Cryptic statements should be given liberally without the need to ask for them.
3. Penalties:
a. Any player can ask as many questions as s/he wants, however if the player makes a guess about the composer's name, the name of the piece, or the opus number, after three “nos” s/he is out of the game. So, as long as the name of the piece or of the composer is not mentioned in the question, no penalty results.
b. If the riddler gives the wrong answer to a guesser's question and therefore utterly confuses and misleads the guesser, the riddler will have to miss a round, that is, s/he must win two games before s/he is allowed to be the riddler again (and eat the erasers of their pencils...)
Let's begin! Your cryptic hint:
This composer, as a child, was likely to have been showered in doubloons in an annual festival.
