Question - 262

Identify the "famous" musician whose lost works were "discovered" by the man in the right over a span of four decades earning him four Grammy awards.

Answer: The picture is that of a fictional musician P.D.Q. Bach (the initials standing for pretty damn quick), an invention of the musical satirist Peter Schickele. P.D.Q. Bach even has a fictional biography. Through him, Schickele has released albums parodying the conventions of classical music. Srivats and Trevor Burnham got it. Well done.
