>>I prefer Luigi Dallapiccola's famous crack that Vivaldi didn't write
hundreds of concerti but only one concerto hundreds of times.
Oscar Levant quipped that, "Leonard Bernstein uses music as an excuse
for his conducting."
Noting that Dallapiccola wrote music for solo flute and also for piccolo
clarinet (in ensemble) but not solo piccolo ... though he did write a
Piccola Musica Notturna, piccola meaning small or tiny or something
itsy-bitsy,
