[Publius]

To be Franck, you’re doing fine.

[Eccl 10:2]

And if he saw a mouse, he’d be playing Haydn goes eek!

I really, really enjoyed my CD - haven’t played it in awhile - in case others don’t know what we’re talking about - here it is.

And there’s Big Mike Michelle and Oprah grinning while Stevie leads the newest cult on the face of the Earth in “song”.

Well, there’s 33 seconds of my life I’ll never get Bach!

(I know. I’m really Bizet tonight!)

[dfwgator]

"Ahh, Bach!"

More like Bobby McFerin than Wolfgang.

There's a fascinating story about a man named Anton Schindler.

He was Beethoven's factotum, and when Ludwig died, Schindler did everything possible to elevate himself in the eyes of the public. He wanted Beethoven to be known as "Schindler's Beethoven."

Beethoven had purchased "The Collected Works of George Frederick Handel" from the London publishing firm of Salomon. Schindler passed the volumes on to Franz Schubert.

While Beethoven had been old enough to hear Handel in the opera house, Schubert hadn't, so the books were a revelation. Schindler attached himself to Schubert because the current wisdom in Vienna was that Schubert was the next big thing. Schindler wanted Schubert to be remembered as "Schindler's Schubert." But a year after Beethoven died, Schubert died. Schindler ended up as a footnote to history.

If Schindler had been smart, he would have looked up a young pianist in Weimar. With a bit of luck, that pianist would be remembered today as "Schindler's Liszt."

You should get an Oscar for that story! :-)

That was pretty funny. Especially when Radar kept using it at the wrong time.

But I consider that horse-and-buggy thinking.

I always wondered if In Living Color thought about the Lying Kenyan Usurper and how much he fit one of their songs to a “T”.

I don’t like monkey music.
I don’t think Mozart would either.

"Franz Liszt? Never heard of him...wrong number."

[Rurudyne]

I was working on the basis that the question assumed he was still alive.

bump for later listening

I wish my brother George was here
