THE MEANDER TEASER DOUBLE

1) Domencio Gabrieli was not the only Gabrieli composing. What other Gabrielis were active during the lat 16th early 17th centuries and what relationship did they have to one another?

ANSWER: Giovani: 1554/7 - 1612 was the nephew of Andrea Gabrieli 1510 -1586. Domenico Gabrieli, 1651-1690 appears to be unrelated - and the 20th century Gabriel quartet members are totally unrelated to any of them.

2) The numbering sequence of Dvorak's symphonies somewhat confused.  What was the original number of "The New World Symphony?

ANSWER: Although composed in 1893 as his last symphony, it was formerly numbered 5.
