Kelly Rinne posted an anonymous denouncement of that radical modernist
Elgar:

> ...  Virtuosity to me isn't an athletic
> achievement; rapid, machine-gun notes emitted by any
> instrument except a banjo is crass and childish, and
> such noise pollution from a violin is criminal.

The best part is "except a banjo". Was this anonymous denouncement
originally posted on April first?
