The Music Box

I'm glad for Little Girl's interest in her music box that she got for Christmas. That's fine with me. What's not so fine is that it plays the main theme from Swan Lake, by Tchaikovsky, and it doesn't play enough of the song for it to resolve. In my head, the next phrase is going, but the dumb music box just plays that little snippet OVER and OVER. Four measures is not enough of a great work like Swan Lake.

So of course, Swan Lake is what's playing in my head. My ears are desperate for the second phrase, the ascending melody... oh, THANK YOU, YOUTUBE!
