Born in Engels, an autonomous region for ethnic Germans on the Volga river, Alfred Schnittke trained as a pianist in Vienna, Austria, where his father served as a correspondent for a Soviet newspaper. In 1953, he moved on to the Moscow Conservatory and served on its faculty from 1962 to 1972. Schnittke wrote over 60 film scores between 1961 and 1984, but they were in popular styles dramatically different from his serious music, which was influenced strongly by Mahler, Ives, and Pousseur and was usually atonal. His music is often despairing, with surprising witty touches, including musical quotations from well-known works.- Harijs Liepins was born on 15 March 1927 in Riga, Latvia.

- Francisco Xavier Bultó Marquès (Barcelona, 17 May 1912 - Barcelona, 3 August 1998), popularly known as 'Paco Bultó' was a Catalan businessman, founder of 'Montesa Honda' (with Peter Permanyer) and Bultaco.
Francisco "Paco" Bultó was a director of the Montesa motorcycle company founded in 1944. After several years of steady growth and road racing success, in 1957 Montesa moved to larger facilities. The move was protracted, disrupting production and was followed by a downturn in the Spanish economy. Bultó decided to leave Montesa to concentrate on his other business interests.
The suggestion to form a new company is said to have come a few days later when Sr. Bultó was invited to a meeting by several of the former staff of Montesa's racing department. Keen to return to racing, they persuaded him that their greatest hope lay in forming a new company. Setting up shop in very primitive conditions at an old farm owned by Bultó, things developed quickly. On March 24, 1959, Bultaco held a press day and launched its first bike, the road-going 125cc Bultaco Tralla 101, named after a Spanish word for whip. Just two months later Bultaco entered its first Spanish Grand Prix taking seven of the first ten places. - Reizo Koike was born on December 12, 1915 in Numazu, Shizuoka, Japan.

In addition, Reizo won a total of eight Japanese Championship titles altogether.
