ISBN10: 039332009X, ISBN13: 9780393320091, [publisher: WW Norton & Co Aug 2000] Softcover Neuware - A snakeful of critical venom aimed at the composers and the classics of nineteenth- and twentieth-century music. Who wrote advanced cat music What commonplace theme is very much like Yankee Doodle Which composer is a scoundrel and a giftless bastard What opera would His Satanic Majesty turn out Whose name suggests fierce whiskers stained with vodka And finally, what third movement begins with a dog howling at midnight, then imitates the regurgitations of the less-refined or lower-middle-class type of water-closet cistern, and ends with the cello reproducing the screech of an ungreased wheelbarrow For the answers to these and other questions, readers need only consult the 'Invecticon' at the back of this inspired book and then turn to the full passage, in all its vituperation.
