I don't care for this piece in particular, but he
composed many other pieces featuring my favorite instrument
--- the CELLO.
Just a little
joke:
Steven Spielberg
was discussing his new project - an action docudrama about famous
composers starring top movie stars. Sylvester Stallone, Steven
Segal, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger were all present.
Spielberg strongly desired the box office 'oomph' of these
superstars, so he was prepared to allow them to select whatever
composers they would portray, as long as they were very famous.
"Well,"
started Stallone, "I've always admired Mozart. I would love
to play him."
"Chopin has
always been my favorite, and my image would improve if people saw
me playing the piano" said Willis. "I'll play
him."
"I've always
been partial to Strauss and his waltzes," said Segal.
"I'd like to play him."
Spielberg was very
pleased with these choices. "Sounds splendid." Then,
looking at Schwarzenegger, he asked, "Who do you want to be,
Arnold?"
Arnold says ... "I'll be
Bach."
