Again the discordant strains have sounded
That a composer "borrows" furtively
Makes a few swift changes
Thinking that one member of a chord can be changed and still be harmonious
And perhaps it can in simpler works
But when there are so many parts
A half-step change in the alto clarinet
Will stick out and irritate
And no audience can be blamed for being angry at such a performance
