That's OK, I don't mind. It's not like I said I like either of them more than Haydn... :D

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Thread duty: Banana.  I like both composers too well, and have too much respect for both as pianists.

Karl, is there ever a case where you don't pick banana?

Yes. If there is a "what is your favorite fruit" poll, he won't pick banana.

There would have to be a 'Stravinsky' option in that kind of poll.

Uggh.  Definitely Chopin, but I would love a 3rd choice.  :(

Tie fer shure...


Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Boy, how could I have missed this one when it first came out?  ???

Chopin all the way!  ;D

I am leaning towards Liszt, but before that, I want to express my position that the person who forces people to choose between the two and do not have "both" as an option deserves a beating!

Well, it is quite possible that John had graduated from the class on What to do When you are Attacked by Someone Holding a Banana...
