Can one imagine the world needing a pejorative term for someone who still has the temerity to profess pleasure upon hearing Bach or Beethoven? Paint me ein Alter Mann.

Damn! that loses me Elgar and Delius, and Debussy and Janacek by years.
I can keep Holst (just), Berg, Ravel and Gershwin, though, and of course
Webern, Schoenberg and Bartok!!! (:-)


All things considered, I shall just have to put up with the label.

I know what public school music has done for me. I have witnessed the journey it has provided my daughter and hundreds of other students I have been fortunate enough to teach. I am both amazed and outraged that there are those who would knowingly disenfranchise generations of humans by excising the practice and inculcation of an entire heritage from our children’s curricula.
