Composers in Literature

[Frans Suasso]

It is curious to know that there were at least three authors who actually 
composed music:

1. Griboyedov who was a gifted pianist and wrote for piano. One of his 
compostions - a waltz - has survived.

2. Tolstoy also wrote for piano. I believe there even is a recording of him 
playing one of his own compositions.

3. Leonid Paternak.

But there may be many more.
