I always reach for my handkerchief when Strauss hits me with that wall of E-flat at the beginning.

I didn’t know that there had been a problem with the German composers, but in Boston, both “The Mikado” and “Madame Butterfly” were banned. The Mikado was actually making fun of the British, albeit in Japanese Garb, but “Madame Butterfly”: made Americans look like real skunks!
