Mozart?  Pfoo, bunch'a new-fangled spangles an' furbelows... I tell ya, it
ain't been the same since they started allowing a third as a consonant
interval!  Monotone, octave, fifth... all right, and fourth, too, since
it's just a fifth in the other direction... but what kind of *real* Artist
needs more'n those?
