I can think of one, not you, but I have no doubt that he will defy gravity or convince himself, and nobody else, that he will!

In a balloon debate you ask each debater to take on one personality...
Thanks for the correction naupilus. 'ballon' being a valid word (the quality of a jump by which a ballet dancer appears to pause in midair - Wiktionary) I was doing mental gymnastics trying to make the definition fit in the context of this topic. Anyway, I've got it now. I'm reminded of a similar 'thought experiment' from a while back.
The earth was about to be destroyed by an asteroid but a space ship, able to support only a few people, was in preparation in order that the human race could propagate on a nearby planet.
I'd guess that most forum members would include a musician(s) and a composer but which ones?

Only BEETHOVEN and SVIATOSLAV RICHTER would have return tickets.

In a balloon debate you ask each debater to take on one personality (usually somebody famous in their field). We imagine they are all in a hot air balloon which is crashing to the ground. Each perosnality, in turn, tries to explain to the audience why they should survive. When all have spoken the audience eject one personality from the balloon. Ultimately, after much debating, one person is left. Clearly it is just good fun...
Easy, just get rid of Richard Branson first, put one of the others in control and the balloon will start to rise again.
Alternatively, put the contributers to the Gramophone forum in the basket and we will have a gravity defying amount of hot air, sending us all into space.
