Celebrating the birthdays yesterday of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and today of Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943). In their own times their nations used the Julian calendar, so you will occasionally see Bach's birthdate as O.S. 21 March and Rachmaninoff's as O.S. 20 March.
I think, therefore I am also mentioning the birthday yesterday of Rene Descartes (1596-1650), even though he is not known for musicality.
