Speaking of cutting things short, allow me to take a moment and "complain"
about a certain practice of a certain sindicated classical radio program
originating in the North Central United States...

Am I the only one who can't stand it when (I believe the program is "Music
Through the Night" or something like that) the Minnesota Public Radio
programs will play a minute or two from some piece just as space filler,
then cut it off and not say what it was? It drives me crazy, personally,
especially when they are playing some wonderfull sounding piece I don't
recognize.  Half the time I still don't recognize it at the end, albeit
through no fault of mine...
