Rumor has it that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a musical genius and influential composer of the classical era, was a huge fan of scatological humor as well as practical jokes. It is safe to say that humorous exchanges were no stranger to the legendary composer. One of such exchanges with an admirer is rather brutal, if you ask us:

Admirer: Herr Mozart, I am thinking of writing symphonies. Can you give me any suggestions as to how to get started?

Mozart: A symphony is a very complex musical form. Perhaps you should begin with some simple lieder and work your way up to a symphony.

Admirer: But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you were 8 years old.

Mozart: Yes, but I never asked anybody how.
