Elgar is so complex. Calling Mahler and Bach complex is weird, because Elgar wrote the most multi-dimensional, sophisticated orchestral music ever.

I enclose some free punctuation (for all your over-puncutation needs) should anyone feel the bizarre urge to imitate me, of all people; I strongly doubt that they will, of course - that is to say that - speaking as one who has been a member of GMG for more time than he cares to remember (and the time I care to remember is very much conditioned by my childhood experiences of listening to Janacek) - I am aware that my writing tends to slip very much into the background of other GMGers' consciousness, far below the levels of infamy of a Saul, a 71dB or a James, to name only three already wickedly parodied on this thread; my writing, with its overly- and unnecessarily-tortuous sentence construction (like one of Ferneyhough's lesser efforts) tends remorselessly to drive anyone brave enough to read it (I am sure there are one or two) into a state of stupor - similar to that induced in e.g. Larry Rinkel (late and much lamented of this parish) by the music of Delius, though I for one (there may be others) have always felt that Delius - like his compatriot and fellow 1934-deceasee (like my neolgism?) Elgar is somewhat unfairly maligned around here - though that of course is another matter, one for which I might even plunge to the bottom of my puncutation bag and pull out a full stop - or period the Americans amongst us call it, I believe (am I right - silly me, I know I am)....anyway, here it comes, are you all ready? (I should think you all are).

I had some ideas, but none good enough to put up. When the inspiration comes, I will be sure to post my turn.

Actually ... my post was an impersonation ... albeit a brief one. 

lukeottevanger, if this forum had a "Post of the Month" competition, I would nominate that gem of a sentence.

Karl Henning?

Karl Henning?

Why yes

Got it! Luke Ottevanger!

Sean.

Here's my impersonation:

"I think a monster from Antarctica ate my legs. He spoke in Japanese and stole all my comic books."

pretty decent 
though i only have like 6 comic books 

[greg]

Can't be bothered to post now, as I must be off to Thailand, where I can escape the sexually repressed boredom of my native land, and where I can practice the seductive arts on lots of beautiful, nubile, sexually uninhibited women who will immediately fall helplessly in love with me, after I give them 100 quid

Now THIS is my favorite one!

um....... i think you have a run-on sentence in there 

[Anne]

Luke,

I think you have the makings of a good lawyer in your blood.  When my daughter was in law school, her class was given a long convoluted sentence like you just wrote and the students had to make sense of it.  Apparently the sentence was actually part of a real law.

[Mozart]

I thought this would be a more popular thread.

[Bogey]

OK...I will throw out another one.  However, I need three posts before you guess.  Here is the first:

If you actually thought THIS would be a popular thread, then it is YOU who has lost the plot! Should I remind you that this is supposedly a forum about discussion MUSIC. Even Mozart and Bach, while being BORING, are never the less MUSIC, but IMPERSONATION is NOT!

I think he was impersonating Sean... or possibly Saul... it wasn't very convincing...

[Bonehelm]

Bogey's definitely doing Solitary Wanderer.
