Oh, yes, the famous Mastropiero-Sharterfer Study about gutural staccattos in 37% of the flock!

That song was later translated into English as:

Nooo!
That was ORIO Mastropiero.
We are talking about JOHANN SEBASTIAN Mastropiero.
Perhaps if you google without the "pages in English" limit...
I DID google without the pages in English limit goddammit!

You're cruel, George.
To a woman who gave you cucumber sandwiches and all.

I repent my ingratitude.
A cucumber sandwich is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
A portrait of Mastropiero:
Some other Mastropiro's works:
Cantata Laxaton
Tea for Ramona (Opus 7), madrigal
The cycle of sonattas for the marriage of Rudolf & Gundula von Lichtenkraut (Opus 17)
The cycle of "Three slightly obscene songs"
The Family Planning Cantata (Opus 22)
"Know your interior" (The Lisergic Acid chacarera) (Opus 24)
The "Wind Quintet", aka The Ventilator (Opus 28)
The Children Oratorium, Opus 61, AKA The Rats.
The Ten Step "Pepper Clemens Sent The Messenger; Nevertheless The Reverend Left The Herd" (in English) composed for the party to repudiate Doctor Schmerz von Utter
The opera "Don Juan de Mastropiero", full of complications.
The bilingual opera "Cardoso en Gulevandia"
"The Romance of the Yount Count, the Siren, the Cuckoo and the Sheep", inspired in the farm of his friend Gustav Shasderfer.
For the State Center of Suicide Assistancem he composed "Life is Beautiful", a disuadicide.
Some works of Mastropiero that have never been played (thank God):
The opera "Non voglio mangiare: no, no e no!", undertitled "Italian Capriccio"
A ballet: "The silphides, and how to prevent it"
A series of simphonies: "The Pathetic", "The Improvised", "The Imperfect", "The Lousy One" and "The Shitty One".
The anthem for the Convention of Doctor Miles Flanagan Admireres (Dr. Flanagan was a distinguished dentist in Nebraska)
The aria for baritone "I am the Queen of the Night"
The love songs: "I don't forger you, Cristina" and "You were the only one, Elisa".
There is no certainty of the authenticity of this data, since it comes from Mastropiero's autobiography which, as it is known, is nothing but a cheap copy of the biography of composer Günther Frager.
OH GOD. THE MASTER HIMSELF ON A2K!

They were burpless, you fiendish flugelhorn haired foppish powdered ingrate.
Mastropiero is said to have plagiarized a work by King Badminton, the famous jazz composer and pianist, King Badminton.
Badminton was an intuitive genius. He had never had a single music lesson in his whole life when at the age of eighteen he was taken on as an arranger. by the hand of Artie Kettsonsale. Naturally, the next day he was fired. Then, Badminton took his first harmony lesson, and only six months later, the second one.
To jazz lovers, King Badminton, along with Count Baseball and Lionel Handball, constitutes a true trilogy, as can be demonstrated simply by counting them.
Curiously, for an American jazz composer, Badminton's career started with two successful French songs: "Quelque chose, naturellement", which means "Something, of course", and "Sur votre jeune sein, laissez rouler ma tête", wich also means... something, of course.
Badminton's piece is named: "Doctor Bob Gordon shops for hot dogs from Boston". Fox-trot... or not.
