Composer
Composer of Überwald Winter, which contains a marvellous overture, known as СНОВА ПОХОЛОДАЛО!1, and much admired by the Wintersmith when he heard it as he raged as a gale through the rooftops of an opera house. He couldn't believe a mere human could put so much understanding of snow and ice into his music.
Also of Prelude in G which, when ready to be played on an organ created by Bloody Stupid Johnson by simian hands belonging to the Librarian, can be heard rescored for Whoopee Cushion and Squashed Rabbits
1 СНОВА ПОХОЛОДАЛО!; "It's got cold again"
Conductor?
Possibly also a conductor of no little note - Walter Plinge (who is in a position to listen to anything) decides to listen to a Vochua Doinov-inspired performance of the overture from J. Q. Bubbla's Die Flederleiv. Vochua-Wotua. Misunderstanding, or could - shock! - TP not have bothered spell checking???
Annotation
