    Composers described in 4 words

    Just a bit of fun.

    For starters:

    Mahler - Get on with it

    Beethoven: Duh duh duh DUH

    Nyman - Please make it stop

    Bruckner - Same sh1t, different symphony

    Bach - Too much Protestant counterpoint [pace Beecham]

    An inauspicious start to a silly thread - mistakenly stuck into "Announcements". Sorry, Hosts. May someone move this, if possible?

      I think Moderatorial powers in the Announcements thread are reserved to Our Glorious Leader - in fact, I'm quite surprised you were able to launch a thread there, I thought it was the exclusive preserve of The Management!

      Frenchie will have to hoick it over to Platform 3...

      I rather like your iconoclastic bent

      John Cage: 4'33" - not nearly enough
      "...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..."

                            Messiaen: Hasn't it finished yet?!

                            Edit: as Cali has already done a more charitable version for Olivier, substitute any composer who you think goes on a bit.
