beethoven is for midnight

* Do you have a record?
- Yes, what would you like? Some Bach?
* No, it’s too late. Bach is for 8:00 in the morning.
* A Brandenburg at 8:00 is wonderful.
- Mozart? Beethoven?
* Too early. Mozart is for 8:00 in the evening.
* Beethoven’s music is very profound, Beethoven is for midnight.
* No, what we need is some Haydn…
* Some good old Joseph Haydn.
