I had this same thought when I finally caught up with Eyes Wide Shut
a few days ago.  Apart from an effectively-used repetition of a single
note on the piano, there was a strange, interestingly sinister piano
work.  A hasty reading of the end credits suggested this may have been
by Ligeti, a composer whose work I don't know.  Can anyone point me in
the right direction?
