Oh, dear.
The slow movement of the A major piano concerto K. 488 or the whole of the
c minor piano concerto? The g minor quintet? The laments of the Countess
or Pamina? Oh, well, there is no use multiplying instances when the list
is almost endless. I suppose someone could be excused for confusing
non-existence in music with what he can't hear if there's no one around
to let him in on what he's missing. Hard to make that case here.
