RIP. One of my favs growing up. Still fondly remember "New Horizons in Music Appreciation" and "Sonata for Two Unfriendly Groups of Instruments". Hilarious send up of classical music tropes.
- pdonis 3y agoI have always liked the cantata, "Iphigenia in Brooklyn". Particularly Schickele's comment as he introduces the piece, "Exactly where he got his text we do not know; most Greek scholars that I've talked to seem unaware that Iphigenia ever was in Brooklyn." And later, "Now of course PDQ Bach was not the only composer to use double reeds, but as far as I know he is the only one ever to do so without the use of oboes and bassoons."

- BuildTheRobots 3y agoThank you. I had no idea this existed and at only 10 minutes in I'm wetting myself laughing.
