[lace-chat] Minute Waltz analysed

[Schuette.Fifty]

Thought you might like to read this. Found it in my attic, so it must be old
and I dont know where it comes from.


A company Managing Director who had been given tickets for a performance of
Chopin's "Minute Waltz", could not attend, so he passed them to his Total
Quality Management consultant.The next morning, when the MD asked the
consultant if he had enjoyed the concert, he was handed the following
memorandum.

1) For considerable periods the four oboe players had nothing to do

2) The number should be reduced and their work spread over the whole
orchestra, thus eliminating peaks of activity

3) All twelve of the violins were playing identical notes. This seemed
unnecessary duplication and the staff of this section should
be cut drastically.

4) No useful purpose is served by repeating with horns the passage that had
already been played by the strings.

If all such redundant passages were eliminated, the whole thing could be
reduced to about five seconds.

Poor Chopin will be turning in his grave.
