OMG, this is realy wierd! I think the poem would've suited Mozart better, he's more of a "nut". _

"What is Beethoven? Not

the scraps of the nut on the table

but more

the brown sugary dusty bitter flavor in your mouth

that is left over."

Wow! I loved this! While I prefer Bach, Mozart, Wagner, and Strauss over Beethoven, I still loved this poem. It's so creative, so probing and meaningful. This is absolutely wonderful!
