"Mein Herr Marquis" sung in English by Florence Foster Jenkins, a real EAR WORM!!!
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one."

Currently stuck in my head is The Revival movement from Ives' Violin Sonata No. 2.

When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."

Made the mistake of listening a bit to the radio whilst picking-up.  Chopin's Waltz #3 in A minor, the dolorous and obsessive opening and closing bars. Here, why should I be the only one to "suffer"?:

First movement of J.S. Bach's Trio Sonata No. 1 for Organ in E Flat Major.

Kyrie in F major KV 33

"Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part. ." — C;laude Debussy

One of the choruses from Wagner's Lohengrin, but I won't know which one it is until I sit down and listen to it later today(I have the Kempe recording). I have this problem pretty frequently of remembering melodies I love, that get stuck in my head, but not being able to place where they came from until much later.

I can't seem to get J.S. Bach's Trio Sonata No. 1 in E Flat Major for organ, movement 1, out of my head. It's the Koopman performance.

That's fine with me!!  8)

I'm currently been danced to death, thanks a lot Igor!  >:(

First there was this eerie folk melody, then there was all this really dissonant polytonality, now I'm trapped between 300 time signature changes in 2 minutes....a little help here????  :-[

Seriously though, every few days I wake up with it playing in my head.

:laugh: Try substituting the Firebird, even under the worst possible scenario you'll come back to life...

Have a Stravinsky Martini...

and then check out Lutoslawski's Chantefleurs et Chantefables... a late work, and a gorgeous one.

Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev. I've been watching a DVD of one of my favourite dancers Alessandra Ferri performing that ballet with the La Scala. During the final scene (death of Juliet) the drama in the music is already high and emotionally driven. But then just to heighten things further there's a trumpet(?) line that harks back to the lost innocence by reprising part of the earlier Young Juliet theme. ;D It's corny as hell, but it fits and it works and right now has taken up residency in my head.  :laugh:

You can hear it shortly after about 7:20 -

Currently stuck in my head: the Overture from Janacek's The Makropulos Case. It's so infectious!

A hour ago I was in heavy city traffic, concentrating on my driving when suddenly, for no discernable reason,, the main theme, first movement, of Ive's D minor Symphony came crashing into my head. I enjoyed that for a few minutes but, then, it was replaced by Abba's "Take a Chance on Me"  :D  There must be some cosmic connection between the two  8)

I had John Ireland's beautiful tone poem 'The Forgotten Rite' going through my head all day in London. It was played on the radio this morning. That is until now, as I foolishly read the previous messages here and now, as I want to go to bed, have a stupid Abba song going through my head!
>:D :'( :P ??? >:(
