Sebastião Antônio da Silva (15-11-1928 - 22-01-2022) Brazilian composer
Let's quote Marcos Roland from MatPlus Forum:
Sebastião was a man of exceptional talent and intelligence. He learned Russian, I don’t know how, so that he could read specialized Russian magazines on problems. He was a translator by profession, he used to translate from German and Latin into Portuguese. He also had literary inclinations. I read on the Internet, with pleasure and delight, one of his poems. Sebastião had a moment of recognition for his unforgettable legacy to Brazilian problemism when he visited, in 2009, the venue where the WFCC Congress was held in Rio de Janeiro.
