Is homosexuality a personality trait?
>10. What twentieth century composer wrote a solo sonata for every

>
>Paul Hindemith
Much as I love Hindemith, the question would have been better worded, "solo
sonata for the standard instruments of the orchestra." As far as I know,
for example, he never wrote a sonata for timpani.
>27. Copland, Diamond, Barber, Glass, and Rorem all studied with this

>
>Nadia Boulanger
Barber never studied with Boulanger, according to Barbara Heyman's standard
study of the composer.
