My thanks to David Whitbeck for the link to IMDB and the Ligeti
identification. It took little trouble to find an online store with
copious clips from Pierre-Laurent Aimard's Sony CD containing Musica
ricercata, which is now on my want list. Coincidentally, the other night
I heard Shostakovich's Jazz Suite No 2 on the radio, and a sardonic waltz
sounded recently familiar. It too was used in "Eyes Wide Shut", as IMDB
informed me. Is there a better site on the web (after Classical Net and
Musicweb, of course!)?
