Well, I never believed in biting my tongue on TOP - as the Moderators there had occasion to remind me Wink  The quality of discussion there - not only Jim-m'lad but many others too - seems to have fallen-off severely,  with "lists of Top 10 Composers Of Whatever", "Music You Love To Hate", and a discussion in which Lionel Bart was seriously advanced as being "better than" Benjamin Britten Sad

Not to mention someone claiming not to know the difference between Poulenc and Boulez.  Grin

I suppose if that someone had the kind of tunnel vision that only allowed them to see the middle four letters of a name they might at least have had some sort of point.

Or someone of particularly anti-gallic viewpoint? Wink

I honestly don't know how you can mistake Poulenc for anyone else?  He must be one of the most easily distinguishable composers going?   I was in the MDC Shop next to the Coliseum looking for something, and they had music on over their speaker-system...  although I didn't know the work in question,  there were so many moments straight out of "The Carmelites" that I knew who it had to be...  and sure enough...  Wink
