    Arensky's birthday is the the 31st of July, not June.

    Happy Birthday to Franz Berwald (1796 - 1868).

    An imposing portrait, that anticipates fangs baring.

    I noticed that the site lists Beethoven's birthday as December 15. I'd be upset if that turned out to be true, because my daughter was born on December 16th, and I like to tell people that her birthday is the same as Beethoven's.

    Beethoven's birthday is the 16th if December. I think I posted that at just after 12 that morning, it may look like the day before in your time zone.
