    Babs' moustache was never that pronouced, surely?

      I believe she used to remove it with Sidocrem.

        Of course, I am the dashing young Sir Arthur Bliss.

        I heard him conduct Morning Heroes at the Proms.

          to what extent is this subject "about music" ?
          After some thought, I deliberately started this on the Talking About Music board, because it related to composer lookalikes rather than anybody lookalikes, which would then have rendered it appropriate for Platform 3!

            indeed that makes perfect sense
            I have just re-read this
            This book is the first thoroughgoing study in any language of the philosophy of music history. Drawing on competing philosophies of history throughout the ages, from the Enlightenment to the French structuralists, from the German idealist tradition to Russian formalism, the late Carl Dahlhaus applies the thoughts of these various schools to the specialist requirements of music history and assesses their advantages and shortcomings. Special attention is given to an appraisal of whether Marxist critiques are still viable and where they stand in need of rethinking. For this English edition, the author provided an extensive annotated bibliography.


            which is why I asked the question

              Time for a trip to specsavers, Taps?

              Prokofiev never had a moustache. In fact he always reminded me more of:
              "...the isle is full of noises,
              Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
              Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
              Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    You can see now why the case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce took so long

                              Great thread, this.
                              Don't think Prokofiev ever had a thatch to match Bliss or Uncle Joe. His alopecia kicked in from the onset of puberty; poor love.
