A Little Nightmare Music, S. 13


 * Model: Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. The performers in this short opera sing their lines in counterpoint with Mozart's music, which is performed in its entirety. The repeats in the third movement are slightly rearranged to accommodate the words.
 * Other allusions:
 * Peter Schaeffer wrote Amadeus, which, like this piece, is about Mozart and Salieri. In the present piece he appears as "Peter Schlaefer." "Schlaefer" means "sleeper." Not surprisingly, it's Schlaefer and not Mozart whom Salieri wants to kill.

1. "What Sweet Music"

2. "Nature Gave Us Eyes"

3. "Uh oh"

4. "What hutzpah!"
