More remotely, the preludio is disassembled and quoted extensively [and
even brought into uncomfortably close relationship with the "Dies Irae"]
in a solo violin sonata by Eugene Ysae...his op. 27/3. A less deft
deconstruction of the 1960s may be found in Lukas Foss's "Phorion."
["Baroque Variations"].
