Brahms is only about 1/3 as good as Beethoven .......

Tut-tut.

Look out - it's the Brahms Police!

Brahms is only about 1/3 as good as Beethoven .......

...this may even sound reasonable to Brahms own opinion of himself vis a vis Beethoven but then it's kind of hard to say because Brahms is VERY different from Beethoven!

Not as different as some. What do you think the main differences are?

A first for the orchestra will be a pair of concerts in the vast space of Hanger 2 at Tempelhoff Airport, the airport of the former East Berlin.

Tempelhof (not "hoff") is in West Berlin. Not that it matters much in this context though.

And we will never know the possibility of it being the other way around..................

Here we have the spelling nazi guru again. No one cares, hotshot.

Yes, and "Nazi" has to be spelled with a capital "N" in that context because it is a name (or an abbreviation for one). Don't you know anything?

[greg]

Hahahaha. This is ffunny.

Of course, of all people, I would expect you M the great German master to know how to spell that word. Especially when you are one of those who are picky about everything that doesn't really matter and take the most trivial, infantile things seriously.

You are mistaken about that. For instance, the most trivial, infantile thing on this forum is you, and I don't take you seriously at all.

Actually, I often call myself a Grammar Nazi, and proudly. What's the ruckus?
