Haydn: either the "Surprise" symphony 2nd movement or the first movement of the "Miracle" Symphony<BR/><BR/>2. Beethoven's 5th, first movement. <<BR/><BR/>PB continues: I particularly like the first mvt of Beethoven's fifth.

You ever hear Jurgen Gothe's Disc Drive on CBC Radio 2? Alas, this 20 some year mainstay of their list (Only the best radio in the world -- and not just my opinion!) got trashed by the Harper glugs who decided to dumb down the entire country.<BR/>--mlMartin Langelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214277415738344944noreply@blogger.com
