You're absolutely right, of course. You have always been the perfect gentleman, generous and thoughtful to a fault. The coven has a tendency to be a little suspicious on men and with good reason; this occasionally causes me to forget your near perfection (your one flaw being of course your opinion of Beethoven as a Romantic).
I have more proof to offer further refuting your already untenable position on this subject. Last week at my son's band concert, a newly discovered composition believed to be the last work of the Maestro himself (Loosely von Beethoven), hidden these many years under his deathbed mattress, was performed. It was entitled "Concerto Extremely Grosso" and while the structure was taken to breathtakingly daring and original heights, containing at least 10 basic themes, it was decidedly classical in character. Of special interest was the ending, which was equal to the composition in length, going on for several minutes and reminiscent of the climactic chords found in earlier concerti, but with the incredibly prophetic appearance of the Loony Tunes finale for the finish. What a seer the man was. I do hope you will take this with your customary gracious admission of defeat. |
