Antonio Salieri's Overture to Les Danaïdes.

  1. Wow, this music had me imagining myself sitting in a private upper-level box dressed in silk, pearls and diamonds, with feathers in my piled-high hair, looking at the ornate stage through my lorgnette. I sort of understand now why Mozart was so much more popular than Salieri.

  2. Removes gold snuff box from the pocket of yellow silk vest, takes a pinch, sneezes violently, retrieves bag wig from floor.

    "Mozart? Really, madam! Fellow's a bit of a tick, I'd say".
