        I suppose Glenn Gould - thought he was a composer but wasn't - much like me as an AAer. Don't have to change my photo .....

            No, Roger likes Brahms, the tasteless Intellectual ...

                  Licking a Scruton is not on my bucket list...

                    I seem to remember I was Shostakovich, which I wasn't very pleased about.

                    (You hate lieder? Are you actually human? )

                      Nor mine - but a bucket might prove very useful !

                        Would like to be Percy Grainger (except in one respect...) but am really more of a Gustav Holst

                        (My family would definitely like me to have his soundproof music room)
                        I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

                            George Lloyd.

                            Much misunderstood but our time will come, one day!

                                Classic FM has one to identify your classical composer soul mate.

                                The station says: "We got Wagner, by the way. We clearly like our friends firey, passionate and high-maintenance".
