Fresh Ears

I’m reading Nietzsche at the moment, and put on Richard Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra (1896). No. 1 Son, who had not before heard any of it, except the first movement opening 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), walked by and commented, “That’s a little aggressive.”

Parts of, I think, the third movement remind me of the fanfare from the theme for Star Trek (1966).
