"I like what you have done with this piece, but just one thing, could you take some notes out---there's too many." And then the camera cuts to close-up of Mozart's horrified face.
And then Mozart says something like, "Your majesty, there are exactly the right number of notes in this piece, neither too many nor too few."
Which raises the point that, Who would know better than the composer how something is supposed to sound?
Which kind of renders just about most music journalism/criticism pointless.
