Today it looks like I'll be going around with the scherzo of Mahler 1 playing on repeat...

Well, inevitably La Valse led to Boléro  :D, but at least here one can admire Béjart's beautiful choreography of the piece (clever how they superimpose the solo part performed by a female--Elisabeth Ros from Spain--and a male--Argentine Octavio Stanley--dancer in this video)...

The part that always gets stuck in my head is this one

I've had that part stuck in my head many times, too! This morning, (along with the Ohana) I also had the first three notes of John Adams' "Short Ride in a Fast Machine" stuck in my head (yes -- the woodblock :-\ ). I kept clicking my tongue three times and then imagined the beginning.

   Funny. Bolero, a song from "The Wizard of Oz" and some Christmas carols frequently play in my head when I'm riding my motor-scooter (which I do for about 10 hours a week--it's my only transportation).  It doesn't bother me, it's my only "radio" when I'm riding.
It's all good...

I woke up with this melody stuck in my head this morning. It was so irritating because I couldn't figure out what it was, but I knew that I've heard it many times. I just realized that it is Antheil's 1st serenade for strings -- the violin solo halfway through the third movement.
