Which composer are you most like?

[umslopogaas]

I had a record once of music by Schutz, Schein and Scheidt. It sounded like the sort of thing an army sergeant would shout at the troops: Schutz, Schein and Scheidt, at the double now, you 'orrible lot!

I cant think of any composer I'm like, but I'd like to be like Richard Strauss, 'cos he made lots of money.

[vinteuil]

Rossini. I worked a lot when young, and then stopped doing any serious work while still young. Since then, a primary interest has been Food...

Sins of Old Age now in prospect

[P. G. Tipps]

I might tentatively claim Tchaikovsky, but I think I'd have to check up on a bit more detail to be sure.

You'd better, Flossie ... he called Herr Brahms some really horrid names and we don't want you and Caliban falling out?

[Nick Armstrong]

I got the shot in first in my #18!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

PG Tipps = Andrew Lloyd Webber

[Richard Barrett]

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Someone I would definitely associate with Scheidt.

Lurching off the topic a bit, and since you mention him, I wonder if folks have opinions about, or saw (?) Stephen Ward.The Musical?

[P. G. Tipps]

You did ... not doing well with your posts, am I?

[ahinton]

PG Tipps = Andrew Lloyd Webber

Oh, that's cruel! (though to which of the two of them I'm not so sure)...

[ahinton]

Someone I would definitely associate with Scheidt.

...and from whom any Schein wears off before one can even see it...

[ahinton]

I got the shot in first in my #18!

and he who Schutz first...

[ahinton]

PG Tipps = Andrew Lloyd Webber

Given his sign-off, maybe P. G. Tipps = Roger Scruton, composer...

[Nick Armstrong]

and he who Schutz first...

... stays out of the Scheidt

[ahinton]

... stays out of the Scheidt

and indeed the Schytte (except that this is pronounced like "shoot")...

Anyway, to return to the question posed in the thread topic, what about some answers from other composers here?

I once did one of those online 'what composer are you' quizzes. It said I was Robert Schumann! I hate lieder, if he hadn't written so much of that dirgey stuff he wouldn't have been half so depressed I reckon.
