Nope, a romantic wouldnâ€™t kick you in the a. Chopin and Liszt were beloved by their students, which is the reason they were chosen. Surely, Beethoven exploded because he couldnâ€™t hear what you said; you should be forgiving "Music, rich, full of feeling, not soulless, is like a crystal on which the sun falls and brings forth from it a whole rainbow" - F. Chopin " I never dreamt with my own two hands I could touch the sky" - Sappho Itâ€™s ok to be a Work In Progress

I would punch him in the mouth. The man was a tormented genius - a giant among composers . 5'4'' isn't exactly giant. Heck, he wasn't even that tall. Grieg, Schubert, Ravel, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, Chopin and Brahms were all short guys (under 5'6"). In comparison, Liszt was a giant at 6 feet - and Prokofiev and Rachmaninov were gargantuan at 6'3" and 6'6" respectively. I'm sure the latter two could knock you to the ground, so be careful who you mess with in your time travels..
