Bach (a father of 20) was bragging to Vivaldi (a priest).
Bach: You know, I have 20 children.
Vivaldi: Yeah, I know.
Bach: I've written chorales, oratorios, concertos. I've codified the tonal system. I've invented a way of tuning harpsichords and organs so that they can play in a multitude of keys without having to be retuned between key changes.
Vivaldi: Yeah, I heard.
Well, Johann was going on and on about himself when, suddenly, he fell into a ditch.
Bach: O help me, Antonio, I've fallen into a ditch.
Vivaldi: Did you break anything?
Bach: I don't think so.
Vivaldi: Well then, if it's not Baroque, I'm sure you can Haendel it.
