Certainly such a person has never lived in the same house with said composer. One attempts to avoid obvious tonal progressions, but that is only for the same reason that one doesn't try to write like Beethoven - it would be an archaicism (is that a word?) that would only distract the listener from more important musical bits and pieces. won't he ever shut up?
