A competition: want to write some fun classical music letters?

There is a site, dearblankpleaseblank.com, where you have to write funny comments in a specific format, as follows:

Dear ____, please ____. Sincerely ____

For instance:

Dear People of the World, I don't mean to sound slutty, but please use me whenever you want. Sincerely, Grammar.

Dear Mary, Just admit you slept with someone else. This is getting out of hand. Sincerely, Joseph

Dear Rubik's Cube, Done! Sincerely, Colorblind

You get the idea. I thought it might be fun if we did specific classical music ones. Whoever gets the most thumbs up wins best answer! No cheating. Here is mine (not part of the competition):

Dear Newcomers to the Yahoo Answers Classical section,

For the last time, I didn't do it.

Sincerely, Salieri

Update 2:

I just realized the format as I wrote it isn't right, I guess it's not how the site really works anymore. "Please" continues its disappearance from the human language... in the meantime, just do like the examples :)

Update 3:

Yay! Someone finally played. Thank you suwahaksaeng. I feel like doing one more too...

Dear Bella,

Let me teach you how to compose a *real* lullaby.

Sincerely,

Johannes Brahms

Update 4:

Dear Alberich,

You can have the ring back, if you just forsake your love of classical music.

Sincerely, Siegfried

Update 5:

Dear Wagner,

If you're going to throw gloves on the floor, at least do it with more style. With the video I present, I throw a gauntlet.

Sincerely,

Mendelssohn

    initially i might desire to believe the comments approximately Shchedrin's ridiculous works, they made me giggle out loud as quickly as I first heard them. between the products that made me giggle lots, is the 2d circulate of Shostakovich's piano trio no.2. the 1st time i performed by way of it, as quickly as we reached the factor the place it breaks into this delightfully playful G significant subject, we had to end by way of how ridiculous it sounds. This subject is preceded by way of a surprising form of very complicated layers of quickly notes interior the string friendly key, and is relatively dissonant. For Shostakovich to easily wreck out into this form of delicate subject grew to become into too lots for me....and then his abrupt substitute back. basically something i admire approximately Shostakovich...his temper swings in his music.

    Suwahaksaeng--thanks! I don't think anyone is better at this sort of thing than you.

    But here's my feeble attempt:

    Dear Lucia,

    Couldn't you have just said you had a headache?

    Yours truly,

    Arturo
