The Mozart Group operating in Ukraine says it shares nothing in common with Russia's notorious paramilitary Wagner Group, except a tongue-in-cheek reference ...
We told the libs to read theory, apparently they thought we meant the textbook for Music Appreciation 101
Lol why did they not call themselves The Brahms Group or The Debussy Group or something if they’re metaphorically speaking anti-Wagnerians. If you’re gonna make allusions to something you better at least have a vague grasp of the topic.
You absolutely know they would have been torn a new one online if they went and called themselves the “Debussy Group”. That poor man’s name has been forever tainted by the modern internet.
It’s vaguely appropriate, though, given that the Nazis did actually promote Mozart’s music and the Salzburg festival in a big way, as sort of a lighter-than-Wagner counter to “degenerate” Jewish composers like Mendelssohn
