Now, Debussy's Claire de Lune carries the composer's own title (so far as I know).

Can I borrow your copy of "Switched-On Bach"?

Bowmann, unfortunately you're making yourself look very foolish, and I'm not going to argue with you any further. I have provided educational material (links) for you to peruse at your leisure. By the way, Clair de Lune is not a sonata--it is merely part of the Suite Bergamasque.

(you also spelled Claire wrong--it's Clair)

You can throw your "Switched on Bach" and "Pop Goes Paganini" away, now, and no one will know . . .

I never said it was.

What do you think my answer would be?

1. No they're not - I was only joking
2. Listening to their music would help you answer your question...
3. Yes, and you know it!

. . . an insult and a compliment in one sentence. Impressive.

I'm still waiting for you to admit that you are . . . musically challenged.
