I choose these titans:

Give us a break, John, with your unshakable love for X or the everlasting soulmate Y --- you change them faster than you change your pants. 

Who says he changes pants???

President Trump weighs in:

Who says he changes pants???

Copycat!

[NikF]

You assume he changes his pants.

Who says he changes pants???

Who said he was even wearing any in the first place? 

[springrite]

Copycat!

I do come from the land of the counterfeit ...

A number I can work with easily.

Beethoven

Holmboe

Your world seems to have come to an end after you started this thread: two of the original names have been replaced. 

How else to answer an impossible question? That's why I'm pretty absent from these threads, I realize their impossibility and their transience.

It's a very useful thread, thank you John, as it's taught me the word "trifecta", which I didn't know before and which I now plan on using at every opportunity 

As for the three questions, that's easy: Byrd, Bach, Haydn - no, wait, Stravinsk-aaaaagh..... (falls into Gorge of Eternal Peril).

[(poco) Sforzando]

Mine: Beethoven, Bach, Chopin.

I never heard of 'trifecta' either but as the online dictionary maintains that the word is of North American, Australian and New Zealand origin I must be forgiven. 

[vandermolen]

These would have to be my three, at the moment. (Rimsky-Korsakov, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky)

Great images of all three of them.

You will now have to introduce it throughout East Sussex.

Good to know I was not the only one to look that word up. There was further relief that it stems from horseracing/betting jargon, not from academia.

Which strongly reminds Bartok's dictum that competitions are for horses, not for artists.

Most certainly- but difficult to spread the word widely as the trains are always on strike here.

Perhaps use horses instead.

If the horses could talk, they might beg to differ...

Well, you learn something new every day. Some of you learned the word "trifecta". I learned the word "trifecta" isn't familiar in all parts of the English-speaking world!
