There's this piece of classical music that I've heard a few times whose
title or composer elude me. I assume it's a classical work, for a fairly
shaky reason (see below), and not a "showtune" or Original Motion Picture
Soundtrack.
I believe it to be a work intended for the piano as I heard it being
played on one of those kiosks at a Fry's store (in the classical music
section). I've also heard it performed by a chamber orchestra as incidental
music in an episode of The Simpsons; it was repeated several times
throughout the episode, and it was played during some sad bits.
It's a slow, sad tune.
I have this Classical Masterpieces of the Millenium boxed set
(given as a gift) with twenty fucking CDs full of music by
twenty classical composers. Not one of them has the tune I'm trying to dig
up.
Grrr.
