Y'mean you don't remember a certain big-beaked penguin that used to hang around with Bill The Cat in Bloom County?

LOL! I totally forgot about Bloom County! I loved that strip... don't know what happened to it, though. It was so quirky!

Back to the real question, though...

It would seem to me that a symphony is an opus (or a work), but an opus is not necessarily a symphony.
