      Smetana's "Bartered Bride Overture" is rhythmically tricky hence this, the "clean version" of the musicians' mantra for getting it right:

      Duck
      Love a duck
      Love another Duck
      Love another little duck
      Love another and another little duck
      etc


      If you do not believe me, read their lips next time you watch an orchestra. Even foreign guest orchestras do it.

        I love it.
        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
