baker's dozen

«Jaja, unlike Stravinsky, has never been guilty of composing harmony in all his life. Jaja is pure absolute twelve tone. Never tempted, like some of the French composers, to write with thirteen tones. Oh no. This, says Jaja, is the baker's dozen, the "Nadir of Boulanger".»
(From Gerard Hoffnung's Interplanetary Music Festival, analysis by two "distinguished teutonic musicologists" of the work of a fictitious twelve-tone composer, Bruno Heinz Jaja. Text by John Amis)
