[Aristus]

1. Everyone remembers the opening notes. Fate "knocking at the door".

Nobody remembers the following 35 minutes or so of sheer compositional genius.

2. Version for those of us of the more lowbrow persuasion:

"New Horizons in Music Appreciation", P.D.Q. Bach

Pete: Wait a minute - that's really something, Bob. The piece is billed as being in C minor and yet it looks like it's going to end in C major.

Bob: That's really something, Pete.

Pete: Well, I think it's something the composers' commission ought to look into, and I suspect they will, uh, as soon as this gets out.
