Sounds similar

[Symphony7]

Hi folks, apologies for my lengthy absence.

I have Composer of the Week on at the moment, on BBC Radio 3. This week it's Louise Farrenc.

A little earlier, they played this:

and the motif played from about 1 min 25 reminded me of the tune played from about 25 secs here:

(A bit festive!)

Does anyone else hear the similarity?

And can anyone think of other examples?

It does sound similar.

Here's one:

Though framed in entirely different contexts.

Yes, I hear what you mean.

I didn't know you could link directly to the moment in question. Useful to know, thanks!

That bit of Beethoven's 7th has also always reminded me of something:

Am I alone in hearing the resemblance?!
