My personal chronology heard the opening of Till Eulenspiegel as a ginormous WTF?!?!?! that's about to be Straight. No Chaser!!!
I wonder if others with opposite personal chronologies heard it the other way around.
Of course, if your personal chronology has intersected only one of these two, and if you're so inclined, check it out. In the right hands, both are a delight (as is true with most things).
Now I'm wondering if there are performances of SNC that incorporate quotes from TE. anybody know of any?
