Using Search

By default, this page displays a listing for a randomly-generated Composer. The selection is limited to those composers who fall into the middle ground between the 'Leaders' and 'Losers' shown on the Presentations page. The idea is that you may just get some inspiration here for a planned presentation. If you'd like to see a listing for a different composer, just refresh the page.

PLEASE NOTE : Your webmaster is ashamed to admit that inconsistencies in the database can sometimes result in this page being blank. If this happens, please refresh the page.

The same search functionality is available as before by way of the menu options at the top right (search by Composers, Compositions, Performers).

What's different (here and throughout the Presentations part of the site) is the way in which the results are displayed. The general approach with the new look is to get away from the sterile display of information in tabular form.
