Conversation between two musicians

"Hey, who wrote the piano concerto that goes like (hums a few bars)? I want to say Rachmaninoff, but I'm not sure."*

"Could be Schumann, they're pretty similar."

"Are you kidding? Not if you've actually played the piano parts!"

"Okay, but they sound pretty much the same."

(sotto voce) "Maybe to a cellist..."


* Turned out to be Grieg's A Minor concerto. Boy, was I off!

Hey, watch that cello stuff, lute boy! So it sounds like I been replaced as Frazier to your Niles.
Oh, no, that was a coworker of mine who's a cellist.
