I just read the story "Gianni" by Robert Silverberg, reprinted in /The
Conglomeroid Cocktail Party/.  It's about the revivification, as a
scientific experiment of the composer Gianni Pergolesi in the year 2008.
Sound familiar?  Well, yes and no.  The story is quite different,
although it starts out essentially the same.  Since "A Work of Art" is
much older, it seems likely Silverberg wrote this as a variation on that
story.
