Then that background should be Frankfurt am Main, I suppose. But as to "relatively often discussed here" I disagree.
The background is not FFM, it's Amorbach in Lower Franconia, where young Teddy spent his summers. The picture is from the cover of this book:



He has been discussed quite often. A quick search gives 79 hits (some of them are messages posted by...erm...a certain Florestan  :D ).

As for his music, it's very stern twelve-tone stuff, interesting if you like that kind of thing (I do  ;) ). Recordings of Adorno's music in my collection:

Yes, I did discuss him (tangentially) with Mr. Croche on one occasion. But if his 79 GMG hits mean he's discussed relatively often, then Nietzsche with 203 hits is one of the main topics.  :laugh:

The first hint is a big one

I'm sure. I just tried my best with Google to find a composer who was narcoleptic as a child. No meaningful result except Cobain was suppposedly narcoleptic in older age.  :laugh:
