Interesting point; the first few notes definitely qualify.  The WC theme
seems more to me like ersatz Rachy; yet as a child I was enchanted, and
even now, though I acknowledge the entire piece is over-written and showy
and that's probably why it has not endured in terms of public interest,
it still holds a special magic.:-)
