Also "Behind the Bastards" was already taken.Citations:Malcolm McDowell Movie "If...." (1968)Byron: Life and Legend by Fiona MacCarthyTchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 performed by Anna Fedorova and the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie led by Yves Abel (Creative Commons, version I used here)IMHO the 1958 version with Van Cliburn and Fritz Reiner / Chicago Symphony on RCA is best.
