    I'm actually watching M&C now, I finally bought the 2 disk edition for a tenner yesterday.

    I still haven't managed to get very far with the first book though.

    I love the pizzicato piece for strings that Jack and Stephen are playing at the end of the film. I heard it again recently, and thought I'd track it down. It's 'La Musica Notturna Delle Strade Di Madrid No. 6 Op. 30' by Boccherini. While I was at it, I grabbed a collection of his string quintets, and they're wonderful!

    Well if you like that track then I recommend searching out more by Boccherini. I can't believe I hadn't come across him. Somehow he wasn't on the list of composers I'd listened to. Of course, now I have, I realise that some of his music is very familiar. Anyway, it's fantastic stuff.
