- I have couple of questions. I do not know much about classical
- music. So please bear with me.
-
- I was listening to John Knowles Paine's Symph # 2. I liked it.
- But at places I noticed some very distinct similarities with
- some works that I have heard before. For example in the first
- movement there is a section that sounded like part of Beethoven's
- 7th symphony (I do not remember the exact movement) and then
- the 3rd movement (Adagio) sounded little bit like the Adagietto
- from Mahler's 5th symphony. Are these similarities just my
- imagination or do they show influence of certain other composers
- on Paine ? or may be the similarities are just incidental ?
-
- And I am trying to locate a piece by Donizetti that I heard on the
- radio; but I am not sure if I have the name correct. Is there
- anything called Introduction to Strings by him ?
-
- many thanks
- d.
