I just noticed that no German composer of significance had an umlaut in its name, which is very unlikely. When you go over a German cemetery or browse any German name list, every other name will have on. Coincidence?

Händel

good point, didn't think about him. But he became British and he's mostly known as Handel
>>74806124
One other thing is that Strauss is written with two s instead of a 'ß', which would be the normal way to write his name. It's like some mysterious force made sure not to put any German letters in the composers' names

there's a rule for that one, after long vowels or dipthongs comes the ß. Everywhere else is written with SS.

exactly, therefore it should be Strauß. 'au' is a diphtong. It has to be a voiceless 's', too, btw. So 'leise' has a normal 's', because it's voiced.
