It all depends on whether you like spaghetti or sauerkraut. I've noticed allot of Germans like spaghetti but non tanto Italianos like sauerkraut.

Personally I think sauerkraut is more purifying and less fattening than spaghetti! There is simply more brain power behind the project.

The redemptive qualities of sauerkraut are legendary.

Absolutely! It should have its own theme in the Ring Cycle don't you think?

1685 was the year that both G F Handel and J S Bach were born. Another odd coincidence.

Harry Potter and the Master of Bloat (that is what happens if you eat too much sauerkraut, isn't it?).

A quiet theme on the low brass? So quiet, in fact, you're not too sure what you've heard, but you don't want to be indiscreet about it?

The Cabbage of Doom

...I'm sorry! I thoroughly missed the Harry Potter cyle. Some people are experts at only ONE thing you know! Since you brought it up, I'm beginning to wonder what the Leitmotive for the "Cabbage of Doom" would sound like?? One can ALWAYS blame it on Wagner since Verdi did not write Leitmotives!

That's correct. He wrote recurring themes like the one that signifies Posa's and Carlo's friendship, for example.

Isn't the whole point of an A vs. B thread to bash one or the other?
