Composers

<spoiler> From Singapore clue for composers is "City of Birth" Here is the list of cities of birth... still trying to figure out from there:

beethoven - bonn

stause - munich

ravel - ciboure

liszt - Doborján

mozart - salzburg

bach - eisenach

bizet - paris

verdi - le roncole

Notes on the music page: certain lines of the music correspond to the writers on the right hand side. Trying to figure out if the star icon and background has any relevance to this as well. </spoiler> <spoiler> Notes from jnm. Johann Strauss was born in Vienna. Richard Strauss was born in Munich. Liszt was born in Doborján which is now called Raiding. Bizet was actually born in and died in Bougival near Paris. Verdi was born in Roncole near Busseto.

Note from leonmj: The only composer of note I can find who was born in LA was John Milton Cage, composer of 4 minutes 33 seconds which is silence for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. The Dvorak of LA is a columnist.

Note from xctrex: Dvorak is also the name of a type of encoding.

Solved: City = Los Angeles. Birthplace of composer Dvorak. </spoiler>
