It’s rare that one has access to as much collective wisdom as is found here at the RBC. If you have any advice for me, please be so kind as to deposit a note herein:

Please be kind. I don’t think I could Handel the mental Strauss — or my composer, for that matter — if you all were mean. Lay Orff the unnecessary personal attacks.
Kevin Long says
Oh, good Grieg.
Warren Terra says
I feel like Haydn from the oncoming deluge of puns …
CoffeeJunkie says
Should I make a Liszt?
daksya says
This post should go straight to the Chopin block.
Or we’ll be unRavelled by the puns.
Warren Terra says
Indeed. A few of the puns will be OK, but Mozart any good.
Dennis says
Kodaly make a suggestion?
Greg Abbott says
Instead of a Bachs, you could use a Cage.
Warren Terra says
Offenbaches work better. And you don’t go Messiaen with what works.
marcel says
Speaking of messiaen (getting down in the mud…)
I don’t think you people should Beethoven your puns, at least not in public.
byomtov says
You need to relax. Eat a nice dessert, or maybe get some exercise.
Have some mousse, or go ski.
Warren Terra says
You tell ‘em, man!
byomtov says
As they say in Jamaica,
“Shoo, mon.”

No time to comment on this now, but don’t worry, for as Scharzenegger said “I’ll be Bach”.
daksya says
Scharzenegger? You seem to be thinking of a different Arnold. The one who prefers to be Bax.
Allen K. says
I’d love to make a Beethoven joke, but I can’t here.

Sorry to pun and run, but I’m rather bizet this morning…
Warren Terra says
To be Franck, it sounds like you’re rushed off your feet; I insist you go re Couperin bed, and I will Bruckner refusal. Go Borodin under the covers, and Donizetti alarm clock. Otherwise, you might get Des Prez‘d. Then, take a day off - wander through the Mahler something.
Unless economic pressures won’t let you - for example, if you’re living Hindemith.
daksya says
So many Weisscracks. Don’t you get writer’s Bloch? Ibert you had some inspiration. Also, some of those were cheesy, so you get the Korngold award. Now, I Pärt.
Johann Koehler says
Warren Terra has been relentless in this comment thread. And it Berlioz acceptable to begin with.
BewareOfTalkingStatues says
You Janacek this thread more often? If we Telemann (you) how to conduct himself, do not dismiss our well-intentioned guidance as besotted Bartok. What sort of a Goun(od) Offenbachs the counsel of his/her friends?
