"Starvinsky," according to my New Jack's International Dictionary is what I
would be doing big time if I tried to make a living in music.

As further proof (if any is needed), has anybody else considered what great
marching band entrance music the first 15 bars + 1 beat of the opening tutti
to the Mozart clarinet concerto would make? I think the beginning of the
adagio has potential as an alma mater, too.

Best regards,
Jack Kissinger
