Who was it that wrote "the pun is the lowest form of
humor?" Someone just sent me the following; I have no
idea who the author is (R.B.??), but thought it could
add a bit of levity to an otherwise hot/humid day!
Happy reeding!
"A Musician Makes Himself Gliere
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 Franck, it nearly drove me Menotti.
The Boyce were Sor that I had Gibbon up so easily, but
I don't
give a Schütz. 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 stay I Still prefer the
Mitropoulos.
I was practically Krein from Misere in the country.
Let me Liszt the sounds: the Rorem of the wind, the
Menuhin of the cats, the Lipatti-Patti-Glinka-Pouleno
of the Rainer on the roof, the Gluck-Gluck of the
hens, and a Byrd Chopin holes in a Tree. My only
company was Thorne
bushes, a Partch of poison Ives, a Brown Babbit, and
sometimes a Wolfe, nothing Moore. For a Forrest
Gainger it may be Fine, it may be the Katz Milhaud,
but I could have died of Borodin. To my friend who
suggested my
doing this, Abegg his pardon, but I will never go Bach
to those Götterdämerung Hills. They Suk!
I don't care for the Ruggles life. I like a good Mehúl
of Szigeti and Salome at Herbert's (even if the Porter
doesn't clear the Crumb off the table), and I like to
Locatelli while Eaton lime Schubert, at night. Is that
asking for Egk in Meyerbeer? Nono! I see 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 this Berg. It Delibes me.
R.B.
At any rate, a few comments were. "This is Grieg to
me." "Bull-Schott!" and "He wanted to write more but
he was too tired to Penderecki".
Peace, Jim
