This is a good quiz. To make it even better - could you allow a little more time - otherwise it becomes a test of typing speed? Also, maybe some more leniency over spellings - especially of middle names. I never know that Frideric was spelled like that, for example. Finally, Domenico Scarlatti's father Alessandro was also a composer. Either accept that or specify the younger.

This is pretty fun! You should accept "Clara" for Schumann, or specify that you're looking for Robert Schumann.
