"C o D: Defend the Indefensible" vs. "Defend the Indefensible: C o D"

People are tinkling his scratchings somewhere, as we speak. As such, his wig prolly fetches the price of a new condo....or brownstone.

I'm guessing you don't mean these guys......

I've never really gotten much enjoyment out of his music. It's quite predictable.

"Marriage of Figaro" as portrayed by Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny...the only defence necessary.

only predictable because you've heard them so many times.

Er, is Nick S a beekeeper then?

I liked Mozart in Animal House!

p.j. otm, but on the other hand even "what's opera doc" can't convince me to like wagner.

The Magic Flute was a hodgepodge.

Matt Helgeson stole my goddamned joke.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

The Magic Flute has been misinterpreted, it is Mozart's ode to his own bed flute, famed in certain circles in Vienna, many considered it quite magical.

the last movement of the Jupiter symphony is some of the best music ever.

(not to mention the rest of the it ...)

― lemin (lemin), Saturday, 18 February 2006 06:21 (nineteen years ago)

The second movement of his 23rd piano concert is the most beautiful piece of classical music ever written.

I was thinking of starting a Defend the Indefensible: Fur Elise thread, but instead I will just civilly solicit posters' opinions of that turd.

ARGH wrong thread

― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Monday, 21 April 2014 21:22 (eleven years ago)

lol

― Kid Creole Meets Señor Coconut at a fIREHOSE Show (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 21 April 2014 21:26 (eleven years ago)

you could defend the indefensible: rondo alla turca itt

― hundreds-swarm-dinkytown (Jon Lewis), Monday, 21 April 2014 21:29 (eleven years ago)

it is grating in kind of a similar way

― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Monday, 21 April 2014 22:31 (eleven years ago)

I prefer the Dave Brubeck version.

rondo alla turca is sweet

― Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Monday, 21 April 2014 23:25 (eleven years ago)

unlike fur elise its not a standalone work and should be seen in context

The B and C sections of Fur Elise are great

in the really lame laurel canyon documentary that came out this year, tom petty says brian wilson is comparable to mozart. the whole thing is peak ok boomer and peak gen x emptiness via jakob dylan and beck saying extremely boring things with dead gazes.

― cheese canopy (map), Monday, 25 November 2019 22:43 (five years ago)

Way too many notes.

― The GeirBot (Geir Hongro), Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:28 (five years ago)

Not enough, you mean.

― pomenitul, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:29 (five years ago)

All the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.
