Giovanni Lorenzo Lulier [Giovannino del Violone] (c1662-1700) According to Pitoni, he was ‘Roman, a counterpoint scholar of Pier Simone Agostini, an excellent player of the violone, a chamber composer for the most eminent Cardinal Ottoboni, who died in età fresca soon after 1700’. According to a newsletter, the cause of death was an accidente appoplettico. ‘Giovannino’ played regularly at the church of S Luigi dei Francesi during the period 1676 to 1699, and had joined the musicians' Congregazione di S Cecilia by 13 October 1679. By 1681 he was employed by Cardinal Pamphili, who appointed him aiutante di camera in 1682, after which he was in charge of the cardinal's musical affairs; by 1688 he was a trombonist in the Musici del Campidoglio. When Pamphili left Rome to become papal legate at Bologna in 1690 Lulier, like Corelli, entered the service of Cardinal Ottoboni, where he remained until his death. Yet in 1694 he was still called ‘Giovannino di Pamphili’. In the 1690s he did continue to perform for Pamphili, was also employed by the Borghese family, and indeed seems to have been the concertino cellist whenever Corelli was the principal violinist.

Mademoiselle Duval (1718 – after 1775) Mlle Duval, whose first name is unknown, was a French composer and dancer who was an accomplished harpsichordist. A letter to the Journal des nouvelles de Paris in 1736 reported she was known by the name La Légende because she was an illegitimate child, possibly indicating that Duval was a stage name. She may be the same person as an 18th-century French composer who is identified as Louise Duval (1704–1769), though their birth and death dates do not appear to match up. Much of what is known about Mlle Duval's life comes from mentions in contemporary accounts; for instance, her birth date is deduced from a letter stating that she was 18 in 1736, the year she composed her best-known work, the opera ballet Les Génies, ou Les caractères de l'Amour (Geniuses, or Love's Characters). The libretto of Les Génies, which was written in the heroic ballet style, was by Fleury de Lyon, and its publication was sponsored by the Prince of Carignan. Les Génies premiered at the Paris Opera in October 1736, becoming only the second opera by a woman to be performed at the Opera; the first had been by Jacquet de la Guerre forty years earlier. It ran for nine performances, with the music being praised by critics as well composed and its composer singled out as a "young person with much talent". A review in the Mercure de France reported that she accompanied the full performance of her opera on harpsichord. Another of her compositions is the duet Du Dieu qui fait aimer (Of God Who Causes Love), which was published in 1736. However, an air, Tout ce que je vois me rappelle (Everything I See Reminds Me), which has been attributed to her, is now thought to be by Marie-Elizabeth Cléry. One source states that she performed at the Académie Royale de Musique and retired with a substantial pension, while another notes her as a former actress and supernumerary dancer with the Paris Opera. However, as the name Duval is a common one in France, it is not certain that all such references are to the composer. Mlle Duval's death date is uncertain; one account has her dying as early as 1769, but a more detailed account has her alive in 1775.

Gerhard Rosenfeld (1931-2003) Born in Königsberg, Rosenfeld studied musicology from 1952 to 1954 at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin as well as music theory and musical composition at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler" Berlin from 1954 to 1957 with Rudolf Wagner-Régeny. From 1958 to 1961 he was master student of Hanns Eisler and Leo Spies at the Akademie der Künste der DDR, from 1961 to 1964 lecturer at the International Music Library Berlin and lecturer for music theory at the Deutsche Hochschule für Musik Berlin and for film music at the Konrad Wolf Film University of Babelsberg. After successes with classical music (Violin Concerto, 1963), Rosenfeld became one of the most prominent and busiest film composers of the DEFA in the 1960s. From 1964 he worked as a freelance composer and lived in Bergholz-Rehbrücke. He wrote the music for cinema, documentary, short films, children's and animated films. Among them are classics like The Rabbit Is Me (1965), Alfons Zitterbacke (1966) and The Banner of Krivoi Rog (1968). One project that he supervised from 1966 until his death, even after the German reunification, was the long-term documentation The Children of Golzow. Rosenfeld composed six operas, among them The Everyday Miracle (after Evgeny Schwartz, premiere 1973 in Stralsund), The Mantle (after Gogol), first performance 1978 in Weimar), Die Verweigerung (after Gogol, first performance 1989 in Osnabrück) as well as Kniefall von Warschau about Willy Brandt (libretto by Philipp Kochheim, premiere 1997 in Dortmund). Dem Andenken und zur Ehre aller verfolgten Zigeuner, Requiem for Kaza Katharinnna (To the memory and honour of all persecuted gypsies) was premiered in 1991 in the Church of Peace of Potsdam-Sanssouci. In October 1986 he was elected as successor of Wilhelm Neef as chairman of the Potsdam district association of the Verband der Komponisten und Musikwissenschaftler der DDR. Rosenfeld has received several awards for his achievements. In 1968 he received the Hanns Eisler Prize, in 1973 the Art Prize of the German Democratic Republic and in 1980 the National Prize III. class. Rosenberg died in Bergholz-Rehbrücke near Potsdam at the age of 72.

Giuseppe Scolari (?1720-1774) He was born in Vicenza. Scolari appears to have led the life of a travelling opera composer, with no fixed appointment. For many years he was in Venice, but from 1750 to 1752 or 1753 he was evidently at Barcelona. He may have been married to the Bolognese singer Barbara Narici (who is called Narici Scolari in one of the Barcelona librettos). Perhaps as early as 1766, certainly by 1768, he was in Lisbon; the presence of a fairly extensive collection of his scores (including one dated 1774) in the library of the Palácio Nacional da Ajuda suggests that he died in Lisbon some years later. Scolari was among the first north Italian composers to take up the new style of comic opera that emanated from Naples and Rome in the early 1740s and dominated the European stage in the second half of the century. Though overshadowed by Galuppi and others, he appears to have enjoyed considerable success, notably with La cascina, written for him by Goldoni, which spread far and wide (in Spain it eventually joined the nascent zarzuela repertory, as Las queseras); and since the libretto has very little merit, the credit for the opera’s success must be imputed to Scolari, who displayed a gift for ingratiating melody in some of its best numbers.

Olav Anton Thommessen (*1946) He was born in Oslo. Thommessen is a son of the diplomat Knut Thommessen (né Knut Saenger), a grandson of the German gynecologist Hans Saenger and a great-grandson of the gynecologist Max Saenger (also spelled Sänger). He trained in the United States, earning degrees from Westminster Choir College and Indiana University. He is a former professor of composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music, where he was employed in 1972. He is now retired. Thommessen is a productive composer who utilizes a tonal language bordering on the radical while also harking back to classical roots. Through his compositional career, Thommessen has influenced the outlook on modern music through his career as a scholar and an advocate for dissemination of information on Norwegian contemporary music. Thommessen's list of works includes numerous symphonic works, chamber music pieces, and vocal music works. He has written several operas.

Karol Kazimierz Kurpiński (1785-1857) Born in Włoszakowice, Karol began his studies under his father, Marcin Kurpiński, an organist. At the age of 12, he became organist at a church in Sarnowa, Konin County, near Rawicz, where his uncle Karol Wański was a parish priest. In 1800 his other uncle, the cellist Roch Wański, took him to the estate of count Feliks Polanowski near Lviv, who had a private orchestra of which Wański was a member, and in which the young Kurpiński played violin. There, around 1808, Kurpiński composed his first opera, Pygmalion. In 1810 he settled in Warsaw. With the help of Józef Elsner he became a conductor of the Warsaw Opera, a position he held until 1840. He taught music at several prominent schools including one he founded. In 1815 he became a member of many musical societies in Poland and abroad, including the Société des Enfants d'Apollon in Paris. He became Kapellmeister of the Polish royal chapel in 1819 and in the same year received a lifetime achievement award for his services to music. In 1820 he founded and edited the first Polish music newsletter. He was decorated with the Order of Saint Stanislaus in 1823. In 1829, together with Józef Elsner he was ordered by the authorities to write music for the coronation of Nicolas I of Russia for King of Poland. For this occasion Kurpiński composed Te deum. The work wasn't performed again until 2011. Kurpiński was a romanticist and one of the most revered composers before Frédéric Chopin, and helped to lay the foundations of a national style and prepared the ground for Polish music of the Romantic period. He contributed to the development of Polish opera, introducing new musical devices and achieving a novel mode of expression. He died on September 18, 1857, in Warsaw, aged 72.
