    Serves you right for looking!!!
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      I can remember my father relating how the Pegasi prancing around in Disney's "Fantasia" were, for him, the permanent ruination of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony.

            Mon Dieu! At least whoever put this together (together?) spared us the entire movement (of DSCH 10, that is). It's mildly amusing for about five bars at best, I suppose...

              I suppose anyone can be made to dance to anything in virtual reality.

              You probably have to capture lights round wrists and ankles? Or fetlocks maybe?

              Plural of Pegasus is a herd, anyway.

                Excellent. This is clearly the way to get young people interested in classical music.

                  It's no where as good as sitting them in front of Metastasis

                    In my first teaching job when all else failed I would sit them down with the Symphonie Fantastique and indulge in a bit of free writing/fantasising of our own. Surprising what eleven-year-olds can dream up about the witches' Sabbath idea.

                    Dancing was always involved.
