It's got to be the most spectacular finish ever to a symphony. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4U0y8zZm28 As my daughter would say, "Cool beans!" That piece has quite the fanfare, for sure. Being the "smarmy" dilettante of tortured prose that I am, though, I think this allegro by Charles Ives is more in keeping with this thread and my accentuated foibles. I'm certain that JPS and Harry would find rewarding parallels between this piece and my bloated bloviations, if I may exercise some patented turgidity in saying so. By the way, the notable, memorable Charles Ives was an insurance salesman... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU85bUyDPWs The first part sort of reminds me of a semi-coherent part of a John Cage concert. I went to one many years ago and fell asleep on my date's shoulder. The last thing I remembered was a baby crying. It was part of the performance! You're an insurance salesman? That's almost as bad as a lawyer. :) -- Nom=de=Plume Around these parts....worse! :) Around here, I don't usually tell people about my former profession.
