I know it well together with the other 103 symphonies of Haydn. The #22 definitely deserves is nickname even though Haydn never called it that. The antiphonal qualities of the first long movement really give one a sense of a deep, disciplined conversation between two thinkers the opposite of what happens on philosophy forums or even in real life. Listening to it is more like a meditation, a communion with oneself. But I'm quite certain that the vast majority wouldn't even know what a Haydn or Mozart symphony sounds like or if they heard it would turn it off immediately.

The only thing imaginative about conservatives, is that they imagine that what they believe is permanent.
What ignorant twats.

Yes, and nothing whatever to do with "Imaginative Conservatives", thankfully.
