Yes, I hate it along with that thing by Berg, the awful piece of trash
for two violins by Bach, that terrible bon-bon by Mendelssohn, and that
lugubrious beached whale by Elgar.  I'd much rather listen to the "Car Horn"
concerto - now there's art for you - contemporary by a living composer who
speaks english and completely of its time.
