And just how CAN it be successfully rendered?:-)

Say, Mason Williams did "Classical Gas".  Anyone heard any "Classical
Rap"?

Not to knock rap, as I think there exist interesting examples of such.
But it's hard to discern the finer points when hearing it at 3 am as a
rap-mobile thunders past the house.  (What must it sound like inside
that vehicle?  Or do the speakers only point outward?)

Hey, maybe I'll start cranking up my public radio's classical music at
traffic lights.
