> [@](#): > > Originally Posted by **Le Ministre de l’au-delà** > IQ: Less famous than your older brother, are you never the less remembered for your trumpet concerto? > [@AppallingGael](#): > > No, I am not Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s younger brother? I’m sorry, Mozart did not have a brother, he had an older sister nicknamed ‘Nannerl’ (I forget her real name - Anna Maria or something close to it; it’s the ‘Anna’ that becomes ‘Nannerl’, the German equivalent of Annie). No, I was after **Michael Haydn** , the younger brother of Joseph Haydn, who spent most of his life in the shadow of his brother. However, there is one work of his, the Trumpet Concerto, that is still played frequently. Winton Marsalis’ recording of the Haydn and Hummel Trumpet Concerti was a big splash when it came out in the mid-1980s. DQ: Is ‘M’ the initial of your last name? ---

> [@AppallingGael](#): > > No, I am not Juan Marichal? Actually, no- the first 11 years, there was just one Cy Young award. 1967 was the first year in which they had separate National League and American League winners. And the first National League winner wasn’t Maricahal… it was his teammate, Mike McCormick (who didn’t really deserve it, but that’s another issue). Juan Marichal never won a Cy Young award, which is a travesty! My DQ: Were you an actor? ---

DQ1: Were you alive in 1950? DQ2: Does the visual art for which you are known involve drawing in some way(i.e. sketches, comics, political cartoons, television animation (tv - as DQ#9 already ruled out feature films))?
