Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Fine, but if the Conservatory is inviting me back, I expect an apology, a better piano, and fewer men with opinions.

And yet people still remember it, which is more than can be said for your ability to be pleasant in a rehearsal.

Mily critiques like a man who thinks every melody needs permission from a folk song.

You say emotional like it's an insult, Pyotr, while your First Symphony is out here trying to faint in public.

Both of you are exhausting. I built a conservatory and somehow ended up directing a group chat.

That's called range, Nikolai. Some of us don't need to yell to be impossible to ignore.

Honestly, the real crime is how catchy your misery is. It's rude to the rest of us.

he made a whole empire feel seen and then called it a modest little evening

I only said the concerto needed work. You responded like I insulted your ancestors and your wallpaper.

The man writes one unforgettable theme and then looks surprised when people remember it.
