Straight, No Chaser & Till Eulenspiegel - Seperated At Birth?

[JSngry]

My personal chronology heard the opening of Till Eulenspiegel as a ginormous WTF?!?!?! that's about to be Straight. No Chaser!!!

I wonder if others with opposite personal chronologies heard it the other way around.

Of course, if your personal chronology has intersected only one of these two, and if you're so inclined, check it out. In the right hands, both are a delight (as is true with most things).

Now I'm wondering if there are performances of SNC that incorporate quotes from TE. anybody know of any?

Yes! the bit where the horn starts?

You know, I listen to Debussy L'apres-midi d'un Faune, and think Round Midnight is about to start!

Exactly! And the that motif keeps coming back and or variated in ways that make it eminently quotable, I think.
