You're making the classic era

classic era (n)

(1) - period of music history defined by Mr Charles Rosen, and dominated by Josef Mozart, Ludwig Van Haydn, and Wolfgang Beethoven. Writing music at this time was restricted only to those who could demonstrate an Austrian Residency Permit. Any suggestion that Herr Beethoven's works belong in the Romantic Era is to be ruthlessly quashed.

(2) - quasi-mythical period of great historic recordings of music, typified by a 10:90 signal/noise ratio, recorded on superceded media. All recordings from this "classic era" are de facto superior in every way to the artless rubbish recorded by the talentless no-hopers we have today. Aficionados are permitted to express their opinions sforzando in the bar during the intervals of modern performances in the format "my dear, I'm sure she's trying as hard as she can, of course, but the School of the classic era has been utterly lost. If you had only heard the immortal Pauline Viardot sing the role, you would dismiss this outrageous squawking for the travesty it truly is!". Members of TOP are the most steadfast devotees of this "classic era".

(c) Groan's Dictionary Of Proper Music
