Reminds me of that rehearsal joke where the conductor stops the
orchestra, frowns, and says "Forte, messieurs les brass, forte!" They
play again. The conductor waves them off, frowns more, and says "Forte,
I say!". They give everything they can. The conductor stops again,
furious, and hisses "Forte, not fortissimo!".
