      Two things:

      (2) What book are you referring to? If it's mentioned in the comments above, I missed it.

    That's why Janáček was held as the first minimalist.

    It amazes me that Murakami never mentioned Knife Edge in 1Q84. Go figure...

    ELP's song, "Knife Edge" sounds so much like this!

      They were short on time, hence Emerson took this and Bach's French suite. Lake's lyrics touch on the frenzied pressure of having to deliver a full album on time.

    Heard Peter Schickele's variation of this before Janacek's original. Just like his 1812 overture parody it's difficult to not anticipate the former's while listening to the latter's.
