nope. the music is too old. shouldnt be played

This is in response to a recital announcement on Facebook:

Featuring students of Martin Schuring, the ASU oboe studio is proud to present their 2009 studio recital.

Performing works by:

Beethoven
Britten
Guilhaud
Jacob
Ponchielli
Schumann
Telemann

If the person is serious … well … how silly is he? (I’m hoping he’s just joking, of course.) My (equally silly) response to him (assuming he’s a musician), is that I wouldn’t attend anything he is playing right now. “student is too young. shouldn’t be playing.” 😉
