Re: New Thread: "Classical" Music In

[Jason Fink <jfink@cabq.gov>]

My Grandfather, a 1920's Harvard educated doctor
(and somewhat of a curmudgen), always accused Schostakovich
of sounding like an "E-Flat Chamber Pot".

 Always made me chuckle we he said that.  I like to use the insult
myself, every once in awhile.
