I'd just like to restrict my comments to Shostakovich. Although I realize
that many folks would name Shostakovich as a composer who exercised much
humor, I recognize it only as sarcasm, and I don't equate humor with
sarcasm. I enjoy sarcasm in music and consider it one of Shostakovich's
best strengths.
