The Real Shiz

Czech composer Peter Eben died at age 78.  Apparently he had an unspecified long term illness. 

He started playing the piano at age 6 and the organ at age 9.  He composed his first piece of music at age 10. 

Over the course of his life he composed works for piano, organ, chorus, etc.  Composing over 200 pieces he did music for everybody.

He will be missed.
