On another thread I have been quoting the conductor Sir Thomas Beecham. I think one of his is fitting here.

"The English don't appreciate music but they love the sound it makes."

The antithesis of that being, I suppose, dissecting a fluffy bunny to see how it works.

As a teenager doing my music exams, I came to love many pieces with a passion. But having had to analyse Mozart's 40th, bar by bleeding bar, I find that in later years I cannot enjoy it. Not even The Wombles "Minuetto Allegretto" for that matter.
