Wink The Stravinsky mosh-pit.

When Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring' was first performed, the audience, so moved, commenced to tear the theatre apart piece by piece! Now that's Rock & Roll! Not to mention 'Paganini', who could dislocate his fingers, so as to reach certain notes, and played with such speed, that people said he must've been demon-possesed (He was also known to make animal & donkey noises with his violin, to irk certain dignitaries in the front-row seats: Much like Eddie VanHalen, or Adrian Belew!). It's the attitude, and just as Rock & Roll will never die, perhaps it was never actually born either. It's always been with us, in some form. Keep the Beethoven. Thanx!
