Some
humor (most likely a rerun)
Sent by a very witty friend of
mine....
-----------------
A Paen to City Life
Author
Unknown
To be read aloud:
You can Telemann by where he
likes to live. I just Toch a trip Orff into one
of the Wilder
areas Faure Wieck, and to be Verdi Franck, it nearly
drove
Menotti.
I know opinion Varese, but even Vivaldi
urban noises, the Bizet traffic, De
Falla engines, as well as
knowing there are Mennin the streets Callas enough
to knock your
Bloch off. I couldn't resist the urge to Galuppi home
early
Satie, and I Haieff to say I Still prefer the Mitropoulos.
The Boyce were
Sor that I had Gibbons up and succumbed to the
Riegger of the Field so
easily, but I don't give a
Schuetz.
I was practically Krein from my Severacs and Pains
brought on by that brief
time in the countryside! Even the sounds
got my Dandrieu up; let me Liszt
some of them: the Rorem of the
wind, a constant Birtwhistle, the Menuhin of
the Katz, the
Lipatti-Patti-Glinka-Poulenc of the Reiner on the roof,
the
Gluck-Gluck of the hens, and every morning a woodpecker or
some Byrd Chopin
holes in a Tree. My only company was a Thorne
Busch, a Partch of poison
Ives, a Braun Babbit, and sometimes a
Wolf, nothing Moore. For a Forrest
Grainger it may be Fine - it
may be the Katz Milhaud -- but I could have
died of Borodin. A
friend suggested my making this Tureck; "Abegg" his
pardon, but I
will never go Bach to those Gotterdaemmerung Hillis. They
Suk!
No, I don't care for the Ruggles life. I like a good
Mehul - - a little
Suppe, some Szigeti, maybe some Salome at my
local Taverner with a little
lime Schubert after (even if they
don't always clear the Crumbs off the
table). And I like to
Locatelli while I'm Eaton Maderna at night. Is that
asking for
Egk in Meyerbeer?
Nono! So many people Berio themselves under
a Holst of problems they know
they can't Handel. Their answer is
too Offenbach to nature - - into Haydn,
it seems to me. I Karajan
a d'Indy life in the Berg for the most Paert.
Maybe it isn't
Perle Bliss for everybody, but it's Godunov for
me.
