We all need some musical humor in our lives. If Haydn’s string quartets just did not make you laugh in music history class, help me in compiling a Dictionary of Musical Puns. Some are mine and some are not. Don’t forget to claim authorship to your entries, or I will steal them faster than you can say “Machaut me the money!!!”
