Nostradamus said...: Sounds Baroque. I'd guess Handel, but I'm shooting from the hip.; 8/31/2009 1:39 AM
Felix Pardalis said...: except that it's solo violin and has a lot of counterpoint that doesn't sound Handel-y. So I'm thinking a JS Bach violin partita; let me look a bit...; 8/31/2009 5:30 AM
Felix Pardalis said...: got it. it's the Gavotte from Bach's Partita No. 3 in E major. sounds like maybe the same recording from this performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vah_ZtBw_8c; 8/31/2009 5:48 AM

Well played.

T.C. Boyle wrote a book titled "Water Music" a while back, I thought the music selection might have been playing off of that, at first.; 8/31/2009 7:29 AM
