¨Scotland? What´d he say about Scotland?¨

“I wrote that concerto with me own bare hands, but do they call me Angus the composer? NAE!”

“Well, where’s the last place you had it?”

It was found where you put it, next to the keys to the Buick.

But then that opens a whole 'nother can of worms.

Eh, Stravinsky couldn't write anything like this: RV558

Right you are. And Vivaldi probably couldn't write anything like The Rite of Spring. That said, it's only fair to say that both composers are worthy. The Vivaldi concerto you linked is an example of Vivaldi at his best. And that's not bad.

Vivaldi’s was/is very good; Bach’s music was/is sublime. So no contest.

Still, the Three B’s, will always remain at the top of the list.

Who is Mozart? Chopped liver?:o)

Sorry. It's a spoof of the Aldi trademark.
