M>   FWIW, the original score to Albinoni's Adagio may not exist.  The
M>piece  we know today was arranged by a fellow named, Remo Giazotto.
M>He apparently   developed it from a fragment which was discovered in
M>Dresden, Germay after   one of the Allied bombings of that city in
M>World War II. 
Damn, boss, that's some pretty detailed info.  You a music major or 
something?
M>   There are other sections on that Renaissance album which are
M>obviously  borrowed from the classical repertoire.  Since you seem to
M>be so well  versed in this sort of thing , here's a trivia
M>question for *you*: 
M>   "Running Hard", one of my faves from _Turn of the Cards_ begins
M>with a   lengthy piano introduction which is also taken from a
M>classical piece   originally written for the organ.  Do you know what
M>it is? 
Ain't got a clue, but there's another blatant ripoff on the first album, 
though I don't remember (a) which song, or (b) who they ripped off.  My 
mother played me the real thing once.
