3Which was invented by eTchaikovsky,
4Who composed a triumphant thing called the ‘1812 Overture’ to celebrate the defeat of Napoleon,
5And went on to write a lot of symphonies and concertos and so forth about how sad life is,
6Which inspired a lot of other Russkie composers to do the same thing,
7Including fStravinsky,
8Who discovered that life was not only sad, but gdissonant too,
9And hRachmaninoff,
10iWho discovered that life is mostly sad,
11jExcept when it’s completely hopeless and tragic,
