"Elihu L. Sussman" <[log in to unmask]> writes: >Karl Barth a famous theologian once wrote a wonderful homage to Mozart >and in his monograph he stated "When the angels play for God they play >Bach but when they play _en famille_ they play Mozart." The complete quote ends, " - and our dear Lord listens with pleasure." It's also been attributed to Alfred Einstein: "When the angels play for God they play Bach, but when they play for themselves they play Mozart - and God listens in." I've also heard it as "when they wish to amuse themselves, they play Mozart - and God puts His ear to the keyhole and listens." - seb
