However, there may not be three Ns in a row.

Peter Mennin is the only one I can think of off hand and he is not really a favourite.

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

It took you this long to notice?

Well, a poll for which Henning is a plausible response has clearly stepped over a line  8)

But I'm sure the original poster had you in mind.

It was a kindness, of course.  I am sorry to see that this gesture, meant for a kindness, provoked an accusation of ridiculousness.

Where I come from, it is poor form to contemn kindness as ridiculous.

Continuing in this vein:

Wangnner
Chnopinn
Schoennenberg
Menndelssohn (that's almost legitimate!)
Tchnaikovskinny
Schnumann
Nonono (and his even more emphatic cousin Nonononono)

Why am I even doing this?  ;D

Paavo Heininen (I don't know his music).
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Among Dutch composers I can only find one: Marius Monnikendam (1896-1977)
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

My apologies - how could I have made this oversight?
