I have been asked, via PM, a question about classical music which--understandably--was not placed in this thread. It is as follows: are there any composers who could be lumped together as Moe, Larry and Curly?
I will keep the question anonymous, as requested.
Unfortunately, I have to answer in the negative. There is an avantgarde composer, Eric Moe, and there are at least a few performers whose first name is Lawrence or Larry; so that could work. But there's simply no performer or composer whose name is Curly, or even Curley. I am sorry to disappoint about this, but unless somebody cares to unearth a document pointing out that Johan Sebastian Bach was known as "Curly" to his friends on account of his unusually vibrant white wig, we'll have to forego the identification with the Three Stooges.
