Mozart at McDonalds

[EdgeleyRob]

No joke.

Called in a South Manchester McDonalds for a late afternoon snack and coffee.
Amazed to hear Mozart being played.
Not the usual Eine Kleine stuff neither.
The last movement of the 2nd Piano Quartet,part of an early Piano Sonata and String Quartet,all on a kind of loop interspersed with some Handel and a Baroque Oboe Concerto.
Whatever next ?

[teamsaint]

any orchestral stuff? Maybe the Fries burger baroque playing something?

Perhaps they will improve their pop music offer too.

maybe some Pattie Smith would be good?

[Nick Armstrong]

Whatever next ?

P'raps this in Nando's ?

P'raps this in Nando's ?

They could perhaps use that if transposed down a fifth from G into the K F C (minor.)

Light summer jacket time....

Pizza Hut on Hen's Legs?

Oh very good!

Marvellous. On a related note I heard Dvorak in an episode of Penny Dreadful recently. *ducks anticipating brickbats*.

Semi seriously though, surely the use of anything that's not Muzak in a context where more people will hear it is A Good Thing?

[ChrisBennell]

Great - that's better than the R3 Breakfast Show!

[mangerton]

I read about this here.

Apparently it's to discourage the riff raff (as Basil Fawlty would say).

A bit of the old Ludwig Van? Oh my brothers........ oh the irony........

I have been banned from setting foot inside one. And to think of the Cultural opportunities that I shall miss....
There is another fast food chain here that started playing Classical Music because they discovered that this tends to stop teenage hoodlums from hanging around and ruining business, per #13
