Here's 1 of only 2 photos of the icon of piano music of the 19th century Charles-Valentin Alkan, with the advances of photo editing Ai, and clever long prompting, this is a possible likeness of him.

Messing with the image generator on ChatGPT I had an idea what if I could bring Irish composer John Field to life and it came up with this from the lithograph on the right.

Starting my day with Respighi's Adagio con variazioni. Composed 1902, revised 1921, it showcases his mastery of thematic development and orchestration, foreshadowing the lush soundscapes of his later tone poems. Anyone else appreciate this underappreciated gem? open.spotify.com/track/0ad5kn...

J.C. Bach's Wind Symphony No. 4 II. Largo strikingly resembles Mozart's Serenade No. 10 III. Adagio. Both in Eb major, slow tempo, with lyrical melodies & descending bass lines, showcasing J.C. Bach's influence on Mozart.

Johann Strauss III, nephew of the "Waltz King", is oddly missing from the Vienna New Year's Concert. He composed the beautiful "Unter den Linden" waltz, yet it's rarely played. Why the snub? www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXnL... #NewYearsConcert? #Neujahrskonzert #Wien
