Written as an homage to Haydn.

Boyd Tracy

Only thing I felt was for sure was that Haydn was wrong. Too obvious! Also eliminated the Russian sounding name. So toss up b/t Mozart and Liszt. And i just don't ike dealing with Lyszts.

Thought the obvious was too obvious and had enjoyed Mozart for many years. But admittedly Ludvig was always my favorite at that time. Gotta get back into classical. Now like Alternative - who can figure?.....
