I did not practice for this kind of disrespect, Richard Wagner really thinks a five-hour opera counts as a personality. by Franz Liszt

Correct, and unlike some composers, I arrived on time and left the audience with a pulse.

Berlioz please, you once wrote an orchestra like you were trying to start a civil war in a music shop.

That is rich coming from the man who turned a melody into a hostage situation.

Wagner, your entire brand is volume and holding a grudge longer than some monarchies.

Franz, don’t act innocent, you toured Europe like a fashionable hurricane with opinions.

You call that disrespect? I wrote the longest opera and still managed to make the curtain the best part.

Both of you are unbearable, but at least Franz can actually sight-read without summoning a storm cloud.
