Some popular music.

[Enrique]

I'd love to know what was the music I heard during the credits in Eyes Wide Shut, a motion picture by Stanley Kubric, which I think was his last film and that seems like a vidriera (glass separating a shop from the street, behind which articles are exhibited) to exhibit pretty women. Or rather to exhibit two very well known Holliwood actors. Does somebody know? The picture is rather old, and may be the music was composed exclusively for it, which would make my question useless.

A part of it goes like this (the first half note is really quarter note rest followed by quarter note; I did not remember how to write rests in my editor):

I don't know the film Enrique (gasp!), but does this link help?

Indeed. But it was Google that finally came to the rescue. It is ''Waltz No.2'' from Shostakovich's Suite for Variety Orchestra (7. Waltz 2). Thanks Quijote.

Here it is, for the benefit of those who like Shostakovich: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzqne90bGF0

Yes, I thought it was that from your transcription. I should bloody well know, because every busker under the sun here where I live plays this theme every day almost right under my balcony. I can't stand this theme anymore !!!
And I'm not going to mention [Oh yes he will. Ed] the fargin' (a polite way of rendering a more explicit expletive) "sound and light show" also right outside my front door that has played for two months every evening (July-September 2) the same medley of extracts from Brahms 1 & 3, Berlioz 'fantastic symphony' and Ravel's Bolero. Really, I could scream !!!!!!!!
Is it any wonder that I'm stark raving bonkers? Nurse! The methadone, and now if you please!!

Well, my notation was too short and only the last incises of the theme. Not a great bone were to bite. As for your sufferings, I was the other day saying that Europe is great, but it is the last place --the US too, where I would go to live. Blessed be my own uncivilized fatherland.
