# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Baptised in the Prince-Bishopric of Liège on 11 February 1741, André Ernest Modeste Grétry crossed into France in 1767 and eventually took French nationality. He built his career on opéras comiques, a lighter theatrical form that married spoken dialogue with melody. The tunes landed: both Mozart and Beethoven wrote variations on his works, a quiet stamp of influence from two composers not known for idle flattery. Grétry died on 24 September 1813, leaving a catalogue that had shaped the generation after him.
