After completing a course in database management, you are asked to develop a preliminary ERD for a symphony orchestra. You discover the entity types that should be included as shown in Table 2-3. During further discussions you discover the following:

• A concert season schedules one or more concerts. A particular concert is scheduled for only one concert season.

• A concert includes the performance of one or more compositions. A composition may be performed at one or more concerts or may not be performed.

• For each concert there is one conductor. A conductor may conduct any number of concerts or may not conduct any concerts.

• Each composition may require one or more soloists or may not require a soloist. A soloist may perform one or more compositions at a given concert or may not perform any composition. The symphony orchestra wishes to record the date when a soloist last performed a given composition (Date Last Performed). Draw an ERD to represent what you have discovered. Identify a business rule in this description and explain how this business rule is modeled on the E-R diagram. Also draw a data model for this situation using the tool you have been told to use in your course.
