       I went to a concert last night, and the orchestra played both
       Mozart and Joseph Bologne (Chevalier de Saint Georges).  I had
       never heard of the second composer, who lived and worked at the
       same time as Mozart.
       During their lifetimes, Bologne was more popular and in at least
       one piece Mozart was extremely similar.
       Now we don't know much about Bologne, but you should try to find
       recordings.  I liked his work as much or better than what
       Jeannette Sorrel chose from Mozart's work.  They were delicious
       as well.
       Another thing, Bologne was black, and that may have been part of
       his loss of popularity, especially since Napoleon brought
       slavery back after the French revolution.

       I thought I hadn't heard of him, until I looked him up and found
       this video and recognized the first piece from the first few
       notes. Beautiful piece.
