I agree C2W, how the music is used in both is genius. The scene you posted is another very memorable one (it wouldn't play, so here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve_iVqtvG94) for me.

I used to have the soundtrack on LP--another piece I liked was when Alex walked home through his tenement, there's a beautiful variation on the theme music, but I couldn't find a clip.

And, I bet you thought I wasn’t paying attention.

Very embarrassing nonetheless. I am shamed by my mental typo.

Given that you’ve got minus one-second more to feel shame or whatever, I know that you know that I know when Rosetti placed next to Rossini next to some Mozart, it gets, I mean, I scratch my head. So, I offer
