Yesterday's Answer:
In 1925, Schönberg introduced the twelve-tone technique which ensures that all 12 notes of the chromatic scale are sounded as often as one another in a piece of music, preventing the emphasis of any specific note.
Today's Question:
Identify the composer for the operatic work "Boris Gudonoff."
(Gudonoff was ruler and Tsar of Russia from 1587 to 1605)
Again, I know almost nothing about opera and could not answer this without cheating :)
