He wrote one famous masterpiece Concierto de Aranjuez. He was from Spain, and I often thought of him as a romantic composer. Born in Nov. 22, 1901 and died in July 6, 1999. He also composed numerous other pieces. You might want to verify this information by visiting his biography on Wikipedia. ### 5/5 — Please Fix *2022-06-01* I love this app, but there is one issue I have with it. You used the same picture of Georg Telemann for François Couperin. The picture for Couperin isn’t correct and very misleading for who is who between him and Telemann. ### 4/5 — Good … but *2021-06-18* I llke the app, but where is Sir Peter Maxwell Davis ??? ## Frequently asked questions about Music History and Composers ### What composers are included in Music History and Composers?
