Nun hab' ich ewig Leid und Grämen!
There hasn't been much in this space lately—that's what an impending 11-service Holy Week gauntlet will do to one's productivity, I guess. But, in the interests of catching up: a couple weeks ago, the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra had an in-house "Composer Madness" competition, in which players got to vote on matchups in an NCAA-style bracket of the League of American Orchestra's list of most-performed composers. The final round pitted Beethoven against Mahler, at which point Kathryn Bacasmot flattered Soho the Dog HQ with a request for a commemorative cartoon, to run on the group's Facebook page.
No big upset here; Beethoven took the crown, so this is what ran (click to enlarge):
Had Mahler won, this is what would have run:
I love how, in that last panel, Ludwig came out looking like a pre-1960 Peanuts character.

Not a creature was stirring
(Click to enlarge.) Critic-at-large Moe is listening to Al Green: O Holy Night (MP3, 3.4 MB). He has had it up to here with all of your cat pictures. Nevertheless, he wishes everyone a peaceful holiday season. See you next year!
Update (12/25): In memoriam, one more song to the playlist:
Anita O'Day and the Oscar Peterson Quartet: Taking a Chance on Love (MP3, 2.2 MB)
More on this after break, probably. But consider: two of the all-time great side-job accompanists—Rostropovich and Peterson—gone in the same year.
