Wagner has beautiful moments, but most of it I don't appreciate...
There was some musician who I can't remember saying
something like Wagner take 20 minutes to get to a point.
"Wagner's music is better than it sounds." - Mark Twain
Not Mark Twain. Bill Nye (not the science guy Bill Nye either).
"There are two golden rules for an orchestra when they
are playing Wagner. Never look at the trombones, it
only encourages them. And if you see a tuba player
smile, hit him." - Anon
I thought it was Beecham not encouraging the brass.
Just nitpicking attributions today.
