I'll say #2. Perhaps because he put a different lock on the gate and had to change the key.etaoin22 wrote:In its form with which we are most typically familiar, "The Great Gate of Kiev" was significantly changed by which Frenchman..

If this were democracy, General Bourbaki would win.. This obscure general of one of France's most unsuccessful wars (Franco-Prussian) in fact had his name borrowed to be used by the collective authorship of a series of mathematical monographs. In Math, something by "Bourbaki" would be of highest quality.
"The Great Gate of Kiev" was originally a painting for a proposal to buld a gate, then a piano piece at the end of Mousorgksy's Pictures at an Exhibition.
And is probably heard most frequently in the transcription for orchjestra by Maurice Ravel....

I am soooo confused!
No. It means only "4" is right.
Jaures was a famous socialist, and Philidor a chessplayer.
