The main belt asteroid 9331 is named Fannyhensel. Does anyone know of any other composers out there?
A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.

There is one named after Lili Boulanger, of all people.

EDIT: Actually, check this out

Nice to see Satchmo there.
A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.

Elgar is 4818.  :)
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

I can't believe Karl Hennings is not among the names!
