Classical Music Bitch

Sorry - not South African music, but still...bears asking

Why is it that EVERY friggin year, every orchestra in the United States and Europe finds it absolutely necessary to perform Strauss's Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks?

Every. Damn. Year.

Are there REALLY that many people who sit around thinking, "You know, I'd love to go to see the orchestra...but instead of the standard overplayed pieces, I wish they'd play some really shitty music year in and year out. I mean, some real masturbatory garbage that makes me feel nauseated after 3 minutes. But not Puccini...maybe something more...Teutonic? But still god-awful. How about that?"

Who the hell are these people? And why are they reproducing?
