Since you posted about Barry Lyndon, I've had Schubert's piano trio and Handel's Sarabande battling each other in my head for pride of place.<br />It got me thinking about the harmonic environment of those two pieces, and how they could have been separate movements from the same symphonic work.

The work of the lobbies and the cronies makes me sick. Congress can't stop the way business in done without a term-limit intervention.
