Peter Schickele, a Grammy Award-winning composer and wry humorist who presented himself as the world’s leading authority on the rule-fracturing P.D.Q. Bach, the “last and least” of J.S. Bach’s musical children, died Jan. 16 at his home in Bearsville, N.Y. He was 88.
If you're a fan of opera, you owe it to yourself to experience the spectacle that is The Abduction of Figaro (1984).
RIP.
