Or did you mean simply Little Tich?  As you can see here, I mistook your who.

Yes, I simply meant Little Tich. 'Who' is one of those tricky words, isn't it?  ;D ;)

Reminds me of an e-mail I meant to send Luke earlier today . . . .

What did I miss?  ???

[Having checked email] Now I see! Apparently, I could ask you the same question...

I don't know what you for sure what is going on here, but I'm pretty sure that at least three times today Karl has PMed Luke telling him what a genius he is, and Luke has reciprocated of course by telling Karl that the only composer worthy of his company in 'the hall of greats' is Karl - This is a fact. There's no proof, but it's a fact.

I'm actually pleased that I was dense enough to miss the obvious there . . . out of the blue I heard the do-sol-do descent in the trumpet in the Berceuse héroïque, and the weird thought hit me, Stravinsky wasn't ribbing his older colleague, was he?

We've got our story, of course.  We've been having a low-grade argument over which sort of cheese ought to bait the Mousetrap . . . .

Luke, would it be too much if I asked for an updated list? I have trouble with the internet and can't go through the thread the usual, slow way... 0:)

(No, really. It's a limited access day, so to speak, and it looks like the next few will be as well. ::) :-\)

Sure. Apart from the seven I posted earlier, of which some have been identified, there's a complete list a page or two back. But I'll bring it up to date now...

396 - a Czech composer??

397 - Tchaikovsky?

;D ;D ;D

Some of the ones after 380 seem very "classical", but they are barely legible. The handwriting of one reminds me of Beethoven. ???

Yes, 387 reminds me of Beethoven and 386 of Bach...

And now I'm off to bed (quite early, but it's been a busy week already).

Ah, yes, those are the two! But I thought 386 might be Beethoven... ;D ::)

Good night!

If you swapped those around you'd be closer. Though no Czechs here....

397 is really, really famous, I promise. Infamous, in fact, the sort of thing it seems to be obligatory to mention in program notes. Otherwise I wouldn't have put it in.

I didn't rule out Tchaikovsky... (another very famous piece)
