"The earlier symphonies {of the likes of Beethoven and Haydn} are the musical
flowers grown in the shadowy lanes of the past and it is not pleasant to
attempt to modernize them. Either play them as they were or let them alone
entirely."

-John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) American bandmaster and composer
