My first reaction to this was to think of the second movement of That Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto, but it doesn't strike me as appropriate or representative.  One piece that I think I can identify with to some extent would be Fantasia Contrapunctistica (but I don't know if that's even more of a lame choice or not . . . ). 

Silly question anyway Smiley

    Carlotta's, 'I'm Still Here' in Sondheim's 'Follies' could probably be adapted to fit the bill!   

Whoo, yesss!  I aspire to that one, Stanley!  As for the time being ... Huh

   YES, Mort, I can see it now!  -

    First you're another sloe-eyed vamp
    Then someone's mother
    Then you're camp.
    Then you career
    From career to career
    I'm almost through my memoirs
    And I'm here.

     On a downer, I usually opt for a go at "In Buddy's Eyes..."!     Grin Grin Grin

I'm a Kreisler miniature - short and sweet! And a bit too sentimental at times.  Smiley

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Ho!  I do find that MT Wessel's "A simple, melancholic drone ...."  has a certain quiet appeal that makes for a deal of thought.

I'm not sure I've understood what this thread is about but I find that Prokofiev gets into my head more than any other composer; he seems to understand the way I think. When I'm in a good mood, then it's the Classical Symphony; but when I'm more serious it's his Sixth Symphony.

If it were possible to add a comic ending to Dowland's Lachrimae Antiquae I would probably be it.

No, I'm not a complete idiot. I'm only a halfwit. In fact I'm actually a catfish.
