The Happiest music

Switch yourself from left brain to right brain: count down backwards from 100 by threes, and the music will leave you alone.

(that is, from right brain to left brain).

I think I'll just put up with the music, Susan

I was having an x-ray a few years ago, Joy, and the radioligist kept humming this tune. I was half-sedated and I muttered: "Baby Elephant Walk". The radiologist said: "That's the name of the bloody tune! It's been going round in my head all day and I couldn't identify it! I can't stop humming it and I don't even like it!"

I find when I'm working at home, that a tune will creep into my head and I just cannot get rid of it. Currently it's the second movement of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" which I like - but not that much! Any suggestions for a cure?

Not that I know of any although Susan's suggestion sounds interesting. The 'Ob La Di' tune is still going around my head today, oh well, 'life goes on...' oh, no, there it is again! Drat!

1. Prelude from Ravel's "Couperin's Tomb"

2. Scherzo from Beethoven's 3rd Symphony (as kinetic a display of the Life Force as any in music)

3. Herbert Stothart's martial theme march from the Oz entrance in "The Wizard of Oz"

"as kinetic a display of the Life Force as any in music"
what a superb description of the sheer momentum behind this movement

Beethoven: the fourth movement of the 4th symphony (also the 6th symphony and the finale of the Ninth - I know it is already mentioned here)

Last night it was Solti and the Chicago Symphony playing Tchaikowsky's 4th. Wonderful music!

Omigoodness!! I just posted this in the WRONG thread!

Yes - hardly the happiest music, but still my favourite Tchaikovsky symphony, certainly wonderful!
