The Vivaldi Game

[louballoo]

Everyone can play - here is how it goes........

Take an admired musician/composer from a previous century and make a statement reflecting how he/she would relate to the musician/composers of this century.

It must follow this format:


If XXXXX were alive today ..................


Here are some examples:


If Vivaldi was alive today he would be a jazzman and an admirer of Brubeck.

If Puccini were alive today he would write the greatest movie soundtracks.

If Beethoven were alive today he would have written a concerto for Wynton Marsalais.


Note: I will be the judge of the best submission and you get extra points for humour.
